Jimmy, I would go with semi-metallic riveted brake pads.

If you have a choice, get riveted pads of whatever material you decide on. It takes a better quality material to accept rivets than bonding does. Hollow rivets also allow a way for worn material to exit instead of scoring the rotors.

I've had good luck with the Street Hawk brake pads.
 
They are sold by most of the Vette parts houses.
