IME Kool Stop salmon work very well and are quieter but maybe wear a bit quicker than the Swissstops. Roughly the same price. However, I ran my stock Shimano (Ultegra 6600 SL brakes) pads in an absolute deluge earlier this year and they performed admirably, which surprised me as the stock pads in a Shimano R650 brake I had were rubbish in the wet.
I tend to go for the Kool Stops these days. It's worth it.
