Are your pads wearing evenly on the drivers side caliper?
I had the exact same symptoms on mine, when i checked, the inner pad was worn a lot more than the outer, swapped pads made sure caliper wasnt seised etc, after a few hundred miles the squeeling started again, albeit intermittent.
A few thousond miles later and again there was a noticable wear diference in the pad wear.
Turned out to be a calliper slider bolt that was bent, it moved freely when not tightened up, but once pads were in and the slider bolts tightened it stiffeded up. seems the caliper wasnt floating as it should, so the inner pad was always slightly sitting against the disk, hense the squeel. if you stopped and pumped the brakes really hard it would cure the squeel for a while.
I figured the slight play in wheel bearings etc accounted for the squeel stopping when steering ever so slightly off centre.
