As for brake pads i am currently running Mintex Extreme all around , but will try to play later on also with the options from Pagid (i want to see if i can keep the car in the temp range needed for Pagid blue).
New rotors and brake pads from http://autohausaz.com . ATE rotors and Mintex pads. Notice grease on rotors...I washed it off with dishsoap and water, but there is spray you can buy that makes it real easy as well.
My 2001.5 GLS V6 5-speed needs new rotors and pads. I purchased 4 Meyle rotors (fronts and rears) and Mintex pads.
stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.
I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.

You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
mine tended to do that after i put in the mintex pads. i figure its just the metal content of the pad.
I have the DBA 4000s and really like them--but I have the Mintex pads and in the cold, they squeel horribly. But, low dust and decent performance.
I've heard there was in issue with this with mintex pads for the Passat. the red boxes would just start up under high heat
