Depends whether you want to go cheap or expensive?

Cheap = Uberbike sintered (or race matrix) + wait for a 20% discount weekend code and buy 4 pairs
Expensive = SRAM genuine sintered

Compound choice/preference also depends somewhat on how, where and what terrain/conditions you ride and how heavy you are.
Avoid Uber'scheap semi-metalic pads though - worst of both worlds IME.

If you're asking because you've seen them cheap. Just buy a set and see for yourself.
There's not a massive difference between the performance of most sintered pads. Be aware though that some of the cheaper pads out there aren't shaped/sized as well as OE pads

If you have guide re the nukeproof sintered code r ones are basically genuine avid sintered code pads just sprayed black with the nukeproof logo on,I’ve just put the last set of these on which I bought for my previous mega,think I only paid £9 from CRC when on offer.
