I'm running standard Avid Rim Wrangler pads on my commuter but I need some new inserts.

Any recommendations or experiences?

Not too fussed about wet performance, but good dry performance (power and feel) would be good. Rims are standard alu.

I've got an Avid Arch Rival on my hack bike and XT/XTR V's on my old commuter bike (discs on everything else).
Never really had a problem with either to be fair so i just replace like for like. XTR pads and Rim Wranglers.
If i really had to choose i'd say the Avid Rim Wrangler pads are marginally better. I don't know if XTR pads fit into avid cartridges though?
