Are you in Europe?

Here in USA, a nice choice is Wagner Thermo-Quiet. I don't know what's available in your area.

But... Are you looking for performance? Take the car to a track? Ever get the brakes red-hot?
There's a wide spectrum of choices here, so it must be about the same in Europe. Typically the kind of brakes that are still powerful when they get red-hot aren't the same thing you'd choose for a normal mortal driving on the road. They don't work well until they get hot, they make noise, etc...

One thing to note, just because your brakes are squeaking, that does not in any way mean your pads are gone. Your best bet would be to pup the wheels off and have a look at the pad thickness.

If you decide to replace them you might want to talk with a Honda centric shop or Honda dealership about their recommendations. I expect the offerings in Australia are rather different than here in the U.S., so anything we might recommend may not apply to your situation.
