For some brands, the range of pad compounds is surprisingly narrow and pricing can be quite breathtaking. For others, you can have any compound you want at a reasonable price.
Also ease of maintenance. Sometimes I wish I went with a caliper that allowed me to switch front pads without removing the caliper. But I've gotten it down to about 10 minutes per side with the brembos.
