Akebono are top notch. Bosch rotors are great. Especially the coated ones for areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.
I like Wagner both rotor and pads but the hands down best pads are Acabono
akebono pads are oem. drive nice and quiet and strong. centrics rotors are decent.
I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.

Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
My wife has 2014 XT since new and we are at 93k miles all stock brakes including rotors and pads. The only thing changed was brake fluid as part of regular maintenance interval.
The factory pads/rotors on my 2011 Outback 3.6 have 90k on them (70% highway miles) and are still in good shape. I'll probably never buy discount parts store brakes again.
The OE pads do really just suck. The system itself, however is just fine. You should try some different pads of the sportycar flavor (Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Bobcat, G-Lok GS-1, etc.) and see how you feel. I have had no problems with spirited street driving after a pad upgrade. The pedal is actually very well modulated and rather than hitting like a ton of bricks it allows you to control brake friction pretty nicely.
The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.
