No pads will stop grey sludge in wet weather, it's dirt/pad/rim detritus, but as amey says swissstop bxp (blue) are the best pads.

Another vote for Swissstop BXP. I take off the wheels to make sure there’s no chunks of anything embedded (you normally hear it before you go and look anyway) and give the pads a gentle scrape with a flat fine file when doing a half decent clean of the bike or after particularly mucky ride.

Same, I've trashed several rims through neglect, rims and brake pads cleaned/checked once a week.
