Default PowerStop Brake Kit

I am going to buy the PowerStop Brake Kit for my 2004 F-150 Lariat 4x4 but there are two options, ceramic or metallic brake pads. I don't really tow all that mich abd the camper I tow has trailer brakes so its not too much on the truck. Which do you think would work best, ceramic or metallic, for occasional towing and offroading but mostly day to day driving?

Ceramic = No more brake dust.

I didn't know there was a forum discount. I was going to get the kit from http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com...Stop-Brake-Kit . It was the cheapest I could find around.
