Brake pads are part of the cars disk brakes. There are four different brake pads they are semi-metallic brake pads, organic brake pads, low-metallic NAO brake pads and ceramic brake pads.

No, very different. Metallic pads are generally more expensive but much better depending on vehicle. Ceramic pads are even better on most vehicles.
the best brake pads are usually the the vehicle manufacturers brake pads
They pads were originally Organic Semi-Metallic.
Cheap brake pads or they have too much metallic particles in them.
Over half of the passenger cars manufactured after 2012, including Toyotas, come with ceramic pads. Before 2012, most pads were metallic. Most quality aftermarket pads are semi-metallic. Semi-metallic are also the second most common pad in new vehicles.

Everyone has their own opinion on the best brake pads. My personal opinion is using a NAPA name brand brake pad. I have had great experience with Napa products and believe they have the cheapest and best brake pads around.
Based on what is stamped on the back of the factory brake pads I have in inventory, it's SUMITOMO
The best brake pads would be the factory mercedes-benz brake pads. I have seen lots of aftermarket brake pads on these cars, and all they do is squeak. So you can usually never go wrong with factory parts.
