If you can source them, Aisin rotors are some good shit, and I'd also vote for Akebono ProAct pads. You can get "better" than both but I almost guarantee you don't need to.
Reviews of AISIN parts For Business

The belt in the Asin full kit (pulleys, water pump & belt) I installed on my 2000 ej205 earlier this year lined up perfectly.
I actually put an Aisin 5VZ clutch kit and flywheel in and its a much heavier feel, which has been nice for the trails. I highly recommend doing the shifter bushing while you are at it as well.
Summit racing is a legit website, I bought their aisin timing belt kit for $200 a few years ago. All genuine broski.
Get an AISIN timing belt kit with water pump. Uses OE parts. Don’t use gates, dayco, and esp not no name timing belt kits.
Specify or supply the Aisin THK0002 timing belt kit. It is OEM quality and contains the belt, water pump, and tensioner for a lot less than Honda label parts.
The Aisin TKH-001 belt kit is your best bet. It contains the belt, tensioner, and water pump and it is OEM quality at less cost than Honda service department parts.
I'm about to do mine in a 2017 RDX as well, and just picked up the Aisin kit.
Make sure they use the aisin TKH 002 kit.
Aisin Timing and Waterpump Installed... not buying again as the plastic turbine broke and caused the headgasket to blow.
