I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads last weekend. Found a good deal on Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads. My little diesel wagon is happy now. :)
Pros: good deal, happy car

i have zimmermann rotors on the rear and they look like new after one year and no rust unlike others in bought before and since then. Will buy them again. Zimmermann is good quality.
Pros: good quality, no rust
I’ve used Zimmerman for years, including beating them to crap at the track. Never any issues.
Pros: reliable, durable, no issues
I replaced my OEM BMW blank rotors that were done and warped for the blank Zimmermann ones a week ago, but I got them from FCP euro which they had them at a lower price. I have a slow grocery getter 328i so no need to get anything more. I also used Akebono ceramic brake pads.
Pros: lower price, good for daily driving
Vehicle:

Zimmerman rotors with ferrodo ds2500's work for me. Also removed the dust shield and added rs3 ducts. Lately been getting about 2 weekends or ~16 sessions before they get low, but they're solid and wear predictably. Plus fcpeuro sells them.
Pros: solid performance, predictable wear
Cons: short lifespan
I've had Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Reds for three or four years now. They've been great!
Pros: great performance, long lifespan
StopTech Sport Slotted rotors have taken a ton of abuse for me and I can't recommend them highly enough
Pros: highly recommended, takes abuse
No complaints about the Brembo's on my car, on the second set now. Previously used Mintex.
Pros: no complaints, reliable
I’ve been using Brembo for my E39. Just be careful that there are lower tier for Brembo, it is still original Brembo but without anti-corrosion coating. It got corroded after a month or so. The one that got coated is slightly more expensive but I’d go for that next time.
Pros: good quality, original Brembo
Cons: corroded quickly, uncoated
Vehicle:
BMW
I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.
Pros: none
Cons: rusty brake rotors, cupped tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 14000 km
