Pretty happy with them so far.

Raybestos R-300 for rotors and Akebono ProACT for pads. Almost no dust, no brake fade and the right price. Everyone recommends the PowerStop stuff, but they wear fast and are noisy.
Pros: no dust, no fade, good price
Cons: PowerStop wears fast, noisy
Blank discs work just fine, I've been using raybestos and they've been pretty good so far
Pros: pretty good
I'm running some Raybestos R300 rotors from Rockauto no issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Do not go cheap. I even tried the top-of-the-line products house brand from AutoZone and advance auto parts. The front rotors warp in three to 6 months even their premium products. I struggled with this for years trying to figure out what it was. I switched to Raybestos element 3 problem solved. Do not go cheap on the front.
Pros: problem solved, reliable
Cons: rotors warp quickly
i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.
Pros: inexpensive, acceptable performance
Cons: clicking noise, loose fit
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.
3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.
Cons: friction material footprint smaller
Vehicle:
Dodge Caliber
