Cracked Brake Pads, any others? Options

[exxtractor]

I had Toyota brake pads installed last year, and Toyota brake rotors machined. However, on Monday during maintenace service I was taken to the garage and shown that I had cracks in left brake pads (didn't see the right ones). This is the second time this has happened, and the Toyota guys belive its my driving style, which I would say is heavy on the braking when coming to a stop, I never ride the brakes, or drag from light to light. I'm guessing heat related? Also I have a worn wheel bearing on the left side, and needs replacement along with a hub and seal. Anyone belive this might be an issue with the cracked pads? Also any suggestions for high quality brake pads?

Just pulled my pads last weekend, they were toyota pads and I found them cracked too, (left front), the pad was still halfway full and should have been nowhere near done, but had to be replaced. My dad made the driving style comment about braking too, but I dont think Im too hard on the brakes. It may be time to look into some performance ones for next time around.
