The OEM brake pads on the Desoto are down to 3mm.

The pads are D39 . The OEM pads were hard like rocks.

This is in a 4500lb car driven hard in mountainous terrain all over North America.

What is a recommended brand for replacement?

Does a high performance company make the pad?

Somebody like EBC?

Look for a pad rated HH.

They have greenstuff, redstuff, and yellowstuff...

Don't know how that matches to the GG, HH I'm used to with motorcycle pads.......... (I use GG for rear and HH for front on my Sportster)
