That's a subjective choice, some people like the sintered metal, others like organic. They both have their pros and cons, and different feel. If you don't ride hard, or you have nice rotors you don't want grooved then organic is good. If you want maximum performance stop after stop then shop for some alternative options. I've used OEM organic, EBC organic, and they've worked well for me. My next set of pads will be organic.
