I've used a couple of different ceramic pads (v though), Shimano were so hard and very difficult to get in the carriers. They also mad such a noise when braking, like they were made of sandpaper, I half expected the rims to glow like F1 car discs under heave braking.
Standard pads worked fine, I switched as I was just dubious about the Shimano ones. I think I ended up with koolstop ceramics in the end. Much more pliable, less noisy.
All pads used on the same rim and still pristine. If any pad caused any marking to the surface it was the Shimano ones.
