I'm in WNY and run the Raybestos fully coated rotors and ceramic pads on my truck and wife's SUV. No issues so far after 3 years.

I would raybestos element 3 and akebono pads on my Lexus rx300. No complaints.
Raybestos Element 3. They last a while and bite pretty well when braking hard
Pretty happy with them so far.
Raybestos R-300 for rotors and Akebono ProACT for pads. Almost no dust, no brake fade and the right price. Everyone recommends the PowerStop stuff, but they wear fast and are noisy.
Blank discs work just fine, I've been using raybestos and they've been pretty good so far
I'm running some Raybestos R300 rotors from Rockauto no issues.
Do not go cheap. I even tried the top-of-the-line products house brand from AutoZone and advance auto parts. The front rotors warp in three to 6 months even their premium products. I struggled with this for years trying to figure out what it was. I switched to Raybestos element 3 problem solved. Do not go cheap on the front.
i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.
Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.
3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.
