I am in the market for the front brake pads of my XB9R 03. In fleebay they are selling three different types: Sintered, organic and ceramic. I have no idea of which one is the best for me, I just want a set of reliable, no noise, no disk eaters pads.

Any advice or experience that you might want to share?

I use EBC HH Sintered pads. IMO, organic pads are not too good for Buells as they leave deposits on the rotor which causes a "pulsing" issue in the front brake system. I wouldn't go with an off brand sintered pad. I've never heard of the Sixity brand or heard of anyone on here talking about them.

I've run the Sixity sintered pads on the front for a couple years now. I don't ride very hard, and they work fine for my everyday needs. I have no idea if they would stand up to high heat or racetrack use, but for commuting they seem to be fine.
