I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.

Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation

I just checked my maintenance notes and for my car I bought brake pads for $18.98 for the front set. They were Wagner OEX closeout and they are still going fine at 30,000 miles.

Pros: still going fine
Mileage: 48280 km

I've had no problem with Wagner, Bosch, Hella/Pagid, and Brembo; Raybestos, Bendix, Beck/Arnley, Centric, etc are all solid options for a daily driver too.

Pros: solid options

Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km

Oem is expensive and are dealer items, and quality aftermarket brakes are readily available. Look for raybestos or Wagner brands for domestic vehicles, ebc for European vehicles. And there is no need for oem wear parts

Pros: quality aftermarket available
Cons: oem is expensive
