I've never heard of any of those, so I'll take your word that they're good. Personally, I've had nothing but excellent results from Duralast pads on several vehicles, and will continue using them on all my vehicles without the slightest concern.
All those companies minus PBR are the OEM braking parts suppliers for all the European auto makers - and ATE is the OEM to Detroit as well as making inroads with the Japanese and Koreans via Nissan, Honda, Toyota and Hyundai/Kia.
PBR is a Australian firm that also makes excellent brake pads, they are also OEM on both Ford and GM's muscle cars.
