I put centric coated rotors and Akebono pads on my 2016 and have not had pulsing in 40k.
Reviews of Centric parts For Business

I always use centric semi e-coated rotors (everything is e-coated except for the rotor face). I never had issues with them on any car.
You can get 4 for the price of one Subaru branded one on rockauto, and that includes known brands like Bosch and Brembo. I personally have used Centric rotors on everything I have owned for a decade now and they do the job just fine.
Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics & 120 Series rotors from Tire Rack. Though not a CX5, my Mazda6 is running at 60k miles on this set.
I buy Centric from Rock Auto. Then I have my local shop install them. Labor is $165 for an "axle" (so $330 front and back) and rotors/pads cost me about $125 a pair or $250 for all four.
I did centric rotors and akebono pads up front. Works fine.
If you aren't going to track or AX the car, just get Centric blank rotors and OE pads.
I have run Centric, Raybestos and Wagner, maybe the Wagner have lasted slightly longer
