I got powerstop rotors drilled and slotted from Amazon front and rear for about $300 and some akebono brake pads with the sensors. Probably all in under $500. Did the work myself, pretty easy honestly.
I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.
I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.

Good pad choice, I only use akebono pads personally. Looks like you have a toyota truck/suv. Same here, great pads.
For pads Akebono is best
I installed Akebono recently for my rears and so far wheels are staying pretty clean
powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is good
The brake job was easy, I bought Akebono pads, Textar is what was on it. Mine make a grinding sound on driver side now under heavy braking, I don\u2019t see anything wrong upon thorough visual inspection so I need to disassemble that side again and take a closer look. Maybe get a different brand pad to potentially avoid this?
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
