I'd definitely go with ceramic in the front. They last a lot longer and make less brake dust.

I usually just go with the NAPA brand.

I know tirerack carries some of the bigger name brands

And they do run cooler than normal brake pads. Dont let people steer you wrong on that. I dont know what rotor is the best, Ive heard the rotors with slots actually hurt performance.

I use either Raybestos or Hawk. I pefer the Hawk's, much less dust and better bite.
