pads will ultimately help more, though that really depends on what pads you're getting and considering akebono being damn expensive and decent, it's not that easy to upgrade it unless you're willing to fork out a lot more money and/or forego nvh/increased brake dust.
may refer to my previous post again as to why some say it doesn't help and some say it does.
you can also use the water hose analogy on water (brake fluid) pressure, notice steel braided are slimmer - technically speaking, the test with the preve merely mean the brakes are applied quicker as the brake fluid pressure is higher.
the biggest advantage of steel braided is that it'll remain that way until you cook your braking system beyond it's intended threshold (eg: 600-800 celsius, more than what the steel braided can sustain and eventually gets expanded slightly as well) of the system.
rubber hoses obviously expands at a quicker rate and having much lower threshold, and even regardless of that, as it ages it'll expand overtime very slowly as well.
(hindsight on me/
Vyraz 's end that we did not take comparison photos between our brake hoses prior to cable tying them.)
I know.i also thought that steel braided wont make a difference until i used it hard repeatedly and reached the threshold.but i tried the steel braided on my friend neo,and i can assure you that it made a lot of difference on brake feel.
However i thought it was only the feel and it did not shorted the braking distance.but now i saw the video i'm even more convinced.

you clearly never tried EBC greens (or even reds)
you can probably ignore bendix (especially metal king as it's going to rape your rotors with the hard/metallic pad material)/ferodo considering your above 3 criterias.
are still damn healthy (maybe 60-80% left) on
Vyraz second hand car at 90k km, so unless you brake like a madman, you're probably going to be using it for a very long time
rm450/set of fronts, i guess you get what you "paid" for lol.
Considering that the stock akebano pads are good and mine is still in good shape it's unlikely i will change the pads,but i will agree that EBC green have been getting good review.even the Kakimotor boss uses it on his CRZ.however i have not tested any of the other brake pad on my inspira??which one have you tested??
Any input from anyone who have changed their brake pad??
Btw Quazacolt,how much is your milage bro??since you gotten your car around the same as me

But really improve brake feel.Like press a bit brake pedal already brake 
might else well keep the stock first eh
