Default opinion needed pee pads vs outside

Or maybe bothh? I'm very tempted to stick with pee pads and go outside only for walks (still 2-3 times a day but only to get him exercise, fresh air, change of surrounding etc). Pepper's been very good with pee pads, he's almost 4 months but has pottied on them almost 100 per cent around 3 weeks now. He's getting his last booster in a few days and I'm debating what to do about his housebreaking. I never really wanted a dog to go inside but after reading the numerous posts I'm tempted to stay with the situation everyone's comfortable with (for now). For those whose dog's trained on both, how do you make them go outside if they're used to pee pads? I take Pepper to friend's backyard sometimes but even if we spend an hour there, he holds it until we get back home. Also, I kept pads in each room initially... When I tried to eliminate some, he still wanted to potty where he remember pee pad. I put them back. He's allowed to have run of the house and doesn't really get in trouble (mostly when we're home and sometimes at night). But hubby left him out of xpen and went shopping for a couple hours, no accidents when he got back. I'm really debating about it. I don't want to start crate training him now, he never reaally was... Any advice?? So confused...
