I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.

He used Powerstop Z23 pads/Evolution Geomet Rotors I bought from Rock Auto (those were about $300 shipped). He even wiped down the inside of the wheel rims.
I did PowerStop drilled & slotted with ceramic pads. Fantastic upgrade. Lasted about 2 years until they got noisy as hell.
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
I'd like to add brake jobs are fairly simple too. The front pads in my 2016 Q5 were the easiest of any car I've ever owned.
I would pick power stop at about $150 give or take - you are there with the labor time - put in the new parts
Powerstop Z23 works just fine. Z26 if you want low dust.
I put power stop pads on and generic slotted rotors from local parts store.
I replaced the rear pads and rotors with Power Stop pads and rotors. Bleed. Did break in proceedure. No change.
