Brake squeal can be eliminated by using coppaslip on the rear of the pad.  Genuine GM pads also do not squeal usually, but cost a lot

I'm sure you'll be able to get it nearer to home. Other similar compounds available, but Molyslip is far superior to all of them.

Smear it on the back of the pad to reduce squeal.

what you recommend;
Opel own pads (not Opel aftermarket) are the only ones that definitely will not squeal.

Out of those ones you've linked to, Pagid (preferred) or Jurid

The manufacturer of the Opel pad do make aftermarket pads, but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PAD!

As said, which ever caliper is fitted (ATE on early 2.0l, Lucas on all others), I'd recommend Opel/Vauxhall OE, esp if you want to get rid of squeal. Other good options are Pagid and Jurid.  I don't believe the "tradeclub" pad set is available outside the UK, and certainly not a tradeclub prices :(

Anything else is usually poor in my experience, and I've tried a fair few.
