Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.
Pros: great condition, stops well
I went with Bosch pads this time on OEM rotors.

Subaru
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
Pros: quiet, less dust
Cons: squeak, fade
Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares
Pros: spend less money
I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.
Pros: NSX brakes development
Vehicle:
Acura NSX
Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.
Pros: pretty good prices
I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.
Pros: have been great
I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.
If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.
Pros: tighter grip, improved braking
Cons: stock pads insufficient grip
Vehicle:
Toyota
