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'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 went with Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads . The Akebono pads performed well, but wore out faster than I'd expected. I don't know if the low wear on them caused scoring of the rotors or if it was the calipers not doing a proper job... but I did not detect a loss in brake performance, which was really strange. This was happening to the rear, so maybe the front end brake system was compensating.
Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.
New brakes. All OEM replacements, however the Bosch pads are a bit squeaky
