Brake discs Centric or STOPTECH

I've had good luck with either Centric GCX or Power stop Evolution Geo-met coated.

Centric GCX.

Centric (stock) rotors work great. I'm on ferodo ds2500 pads and love them

I've had great luck with Centric Premium coated (blank) rotors. I put them on everything.

I got the "stoptech" brand if I remember correctly. They install the exact same as other brands, the difference is higher quality material, and maybe drilled / slotted.

If you were to go with the Zimmerman rotors (I wouldn't go drilled, only slotted/dimpled/blank) and ATE or Textar pads you can run them until they're dead, pay shipping to/from FCP and they'll send you another set. I personally have slotted StopTech rotors on my MK7R and they've been awesome. Even with 5 track days, multiple winter's and a lot of street miles with track pads installed they're still in great shape.

I've always had good luck with the coated Centric rotors I've gotten from RA. No warping, good corrosion resistance.

I've done the Centric e-coat rotors and ceramic pads from Rock Auto on 4 of my vehicles over the years and have been very happy. Rotors don't turn into a ball of rust after getting wet once, let alone thru a salty Midwest winter. Pads seem to have good bite and consistent stopping power (1 set was on my old Mazda3) and no noise or dust.

Had great luck with the Centric Premium rotors and the Power Stop Z23 pads, which have good bite and no dust.

At ~4,000 miles, I bought a set of StopTech (front) drilled+slotted rotors (non-PP) for my GTI and kept my OEM brake pads. Everything was fine up until recently (~2,000 miles later). I now hear a high pitch "squealing" noise at very low speeds. This happens right when I'm about to come to a complete stop (1-3 mph).
