For Aluminum rims either Swissstop greens or Koolstop Salmons.. There's really no other choice that comes close. They will wear quicker than OEM. That's a good sign. Your rims will thank you.
Shimano pads are garbage.

When you fit them for winter, toe in the leading edge, not the trailing edge.
Immediately after each wet ride (and during with heavy rain) while they still wet give them a squirt of water from your bottle to rinse out the grime.
