Need some guidance with Load TRP C2.3 brake pads

[LoadBoy]

Hi! I have a Load 60 (up from Charger gen. 1), and I thought its about time I put on my big boy pants and learn how to change brake pads on my own.

The TRP user manual says to use SP10.11 brake pads. I cant find these locally, and im not sure if its a product family or a product in itself. The TRP website gives the following options, it seems:

TRP 4-Piston Performance Resin Pads

Our most race ready pad and the most popular among our athletes on the UCI DH World Cup Circuit due to its extremely fast bed in and ability to provide a consistent feel in all conditions.

TRP 4-Piston Semi-Metallic Pads

A pad that splits the difference between our blue and copper compounds giving a nice balance of modulation and long lasting wear. Best for those looking for a quiet braking experience and a subtle onset of power.

TRP 4-Piston Sintered Pads

We designed this pad to handle high heat, high wear, and extreme weather conditions. This hard metallic compound provides a firm bite feel at the lever and offers more consistency for heavier bikes and riders.

If brake noise is my primary consern, is it the resin pads I want? Should I use TRP pads, or can I use pads from other brands as well?

Any dos and donts with regards to changing pads?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: typo

man they sure look like shimano pads. the metallic will be the strongest and the loudest. though my shimano 4 piston sintered are pretty quiet. the reisin would wear really fast on our tandem.

SP10.11 are the pads for the older two-piston Auriga brakes that came on the Load prior to MY20.

The stock C2.3 pads are the semi-metallic Q20.11. I wouldn't go with full-metallic pads if noise is your primary concern, but as has been mentioned, resin pads generally wear out faster.

Thanks guys, - I know now what do get then. I am rather happy with the stock pads, so Q20.11 it is.
