I went with Raybestos for the rotors and pads this time since they’re a brand I’ve used before and trust for consistency.
For rotors, raybestos is a solid bang for your buck and I haven’t had any problems with them
I went with centric blank rotors and stoptech street pads wasn't hard at all.
I am a big fan of Centric 120-series brake rotors and either Akebono ProAct or EBC RedStuff pads.
Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.
I use Centric Cryo-Treated 125s on my Brembo swapped VA WRX. They are a great rotor and have held up really well over the 20k miles that I have been running them. They still look almost brand new, which is crazy considering what they have been through.
As others said, rockauto for parts. CENTRIC rotors are considered the best. Pad choice will only affect brake dust levels for street driving.
OEM rotors rust like that in snowy areas, they look unevenly worn. If it gets a little worst you’re going to replace the pads and rotors. Ray bestos makes pads/rotors coated with zinc that won’t rust like the OEM ones.
I used Raybestos rotors this last time, and they are OK, but they have a little vibration to them.
Get Advics as they're closest to OEM money can buy, stay away from Raybestos i've had nothing but quality issues when I got those rotors.
