Pick two out of three: {dustless, quiet, good}.

You either got lucky or did not have them long enough to get to the squeaky
part.
MM's squeak like stuck pigs.
They also stink really bad and fade after a half decent deceleration. And
all around lousy brake pad.

Lake test!
Take the MMs off, throw them in a lake. If they float => reinstall them and
they will never squeak again.
If they sink, go with other pads.
