I always use centric semi e-coated rotors (everything is e-coated except for the rotor face). I never had issues with them on any car.
You can get 4 for the price of one Subaru branded one on rockauto, and that includes known brands like Bosch and Brembo. I personally have used Centric rotors on everything I have owned for a decade now and they do the job just fine.
I buy Centric from Rock Auto. Then I have my local shop install them. Labor is $165 for an "axle" (so $330 front and back) and rotors/pads cost me about $125 a pair or $250 for all four.
I did centric rotors and akebono pads up front. Works fine.
If you aren't going to track or AX the car, just get Centric blank rotors and OE pads.
Then, I bought ATE rotors and kept OE pads. ATE resolved problems; there was no vibrating for 22,000 miles so far!
I got ate powerdiscs and they are pretty good! I got them as a set with ate pads. I wish they had a bit more bite but maybe that’s due to being 296mm, maybe bigger brakes are needed next time
I did the $520 option. Easy to use, a nice surprise to see you picked those Vs something generic.
I go with Centric premium rotors and Stoptech pads and I like the setup, Centric makes the rotor blanks for Stoptech big brake kits, I got turned on to them when I had my E46 M3 and that was the recommended setup for daily/hpde/autox use.
I have the same pad compound but I end up just buying some cheap Centric blanks. The rotors end up taking in so much heat that they'll end up with a crack here and there. I just end up tossing the rotors and pads, they're relatively cheap so it doesn't bother me much.
