My 04 has 75k and the pads still look new. The Hawks suck. Ive seen them dust like crazy and will squeal most of the time.
I have use the Autozone cermaic pads with good luck on other cars. Cant beat the lifetime warrenty either and it like $40 for the fronts.
As for dusting, ceramic pads give off the least.

Delco dosen't offer a Delco "only" pad for the newer trucks with rear drums. They box them for GM only. But as far as AC Delco, they are still very much a part of GM. Trust me on this one...I work for GM. Delphi is no longer a GM.
