brake blocks

What's the general opinion on replacements for the V brakes on my hybrid?

Kool Stop Salmon Mountain Pads* brake wickedly and last well - but they
can be very noisy. Also more difficult to setip than usual due to the
over-sizing.

I'll be interested if anyone knows if the Dual version is really quieter
and if brake booster would help (by making brake more rigid thus reducing
vibration).

I like Kool Stop Salmon.

Does anyone have a reliable UK source for these, or does everyone
write off to Uncle Sheldon? Actually with the current exchange rates
that might be quite attractive.

Following Representations, my lbs (AW Cycles in Caversham) stocks the
same. As do Wiggle.
