Installed EBC Yellow Stuff pads for rear, kept original rotors, without even turning. 1000km later amazing so far.
Pros: amazing performance
Mileage: 1000 km

Fitted my 2017 with new front/rear brakes and rotors yesterday. I went with the daily driver level Raybestos brand kit from Rockauto. Included both pads and rotors with hardware. Did the work myself. While I obviously can't say anything about longevity yet, performance seems good so far. Especially for the price when compared to over double for Duralast from my local AutoZone.
Pros: good performance, good price
I've got DBA street performance pads and slotted rotors on my 2018 Outback. Not sure what their availability may be to you, but they carry a good reputation down under.
Pros: good reputation

I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.
Pros: long lasting, great stopping power, little brake dust
Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.
Pros: quiet, long lasting, minimal brake dust
I’m at 180k with my 2018 compass. 2 sets of sway bar links and 1 new set of brakes and that’s all I’ve invested in it so far. Still running great!!!
Pros: still running great

I've been to 20 track events to this day I'm still running OEM calipers. Just carbotech pads. You don't need a big brake kit at all. The oem cracks because of improper cooldown. I learned that after a session to take my cooldown lap seriously and ever since then i stopped cracking AutoZone rotors
Pros: no need for BBK, stopped cracking rotors
Vehicle:

I got their vented rear and front rotors (Girodiscs) with stock calipers and Ferrodo DS2500 pads all around. For a stock powered car they work great at VIR. I have done 2 sessions there now and braking is pretty decent. On the street this combo will never fade period. The rears overheat which overload the fronts and cause issues. Rears overheating also causes the wheel bearings to go out so getting vented rears is just smart.
Pros: work great at track, never fade on street

I've looked online to see what the front brake pads and discs for my 987.1 Cayman S cost. Brake discs from Brembo cost 103 euros each and a set (4 pieces) of brake pads, also from Brembo, costs 65 euros, so in total the material costs 270 euros.
Pros: material costs 270 euros
Cons: labour hour expensive
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Complete ripoff. Subaru tried that years ago on my STI, I bought Hawk track pads and did it myself (as I would have done anyway). The dealer tried the ol' "These are high end calipers and the pads are much more difficult to change". I just said "Please stop lying to me, you're eroding trust between us" and left. Easiest brakes ever.
Pros: easy installation, cost savings
Cons: dealer dishonesty, high price
