I am very partial to EBC HH pads and use them in all of my bikes. Good performance cold or hot, more bite than OEM.

OEM are good, EBC ok, but I don't like the zzzzzzzz noise, Brembo good

OEM are perfectly fine - just make sure that brake seals and piston are serviceable and it'll all work like new. And disks are okay and the semi-floating bobbins are working.

OEM HONDA ( Nissin) pads without a doubt for road use, as mentioned just make sure everything else is working OK and they'll be fine.
I've looked into this before, having discussed this subject with many mechanics, racers etc and all recommended them for road use,

I had oems on but they were well worn and I've just changed to ebc hh and they feel much better but it could just be they're new and not worn out....

I have Ferodo sintered in mine and they are fine. I had EBC before. I find both better than OEM in the front but use standard at the rear as sintered are too grabby for my style of riding.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
