Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.
I've been very happy with Bosch Quietcast. I use them on all my cars. Pricier than Centrics, but never had a problem in 20 years and a dozen cars.
When I bought my 17 PP the previous owner had Bosch pads installed that screeched nonstop, i avoided driving through parking lots because of how bad it sounded. I replaced them with Brembo pads and couldn’t be happier
I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.
On my recent rear brake job on the Mazda5 I ordered Bosch pads through Amazon. They seem to be doing the job and I have no complaints.
I put Duralast gold's on all my vehicles. Got a good warranty and come with all clips and brake grease you need. They're ceramic also, so quieter and more smooth braking and significantly less brake dust. Last quite awhile (1-2 years) as long as your not heavy braking all the time. And they're not too expensive either, moderately priced. Plus a bonus, they're black and match my paint.
Autozone's Duralast Gold pads and rotors will run you about $300 for the set. They work very nicely. If you're even moderately handy or have a friend with the tools, it's less than 2 hours of work. If you have a decent setup with a lift, it's more like 45 minutes of work. $600 for labor is HIGH AF. This truck is the easiest brake job I've ever done.
I've used the cheapo Wearever rotors/pads from autoparts stores, and the Bosch Quietcast. Hands-down, as long as I can afford it, I will be using QuietCast if it's available.
I use Bosch ceramics on mine and they're amazing.
I'd avoid the cheaper duralast stuff but the gold is usually OK.
