Brake pads Brembo or Bosch
Brembo, funny part its cheap Did the set in my daily Kia including NAO cermaic brake pads. Way better than OE and no dust.
Mk5 R32 OEM rotors and pads - made by Brembo and i believe are powder coated. They are lasting a long time and are very strong to abuse
Ric also got Renault to use Brembo brakes when he was racing for them.
Couldn't answer your first two questions, but the last question about Brembo being reliable is a very solid "yes".
Brembo directly supply Mercedes with their brakes.
I went with Raybestos rotors and Bosch QuietCast pads. Equal if not better than OEM and much much cheaper.
The camaro SS uses brembo pads which are really good hence the price tag (imo the quote you got is pretty reasonable). If you want a more cost effective alternative, hit up MSW autoparts and ask for Zlatko. They have EBC brake pads which are also really good aftermarket pads.
So I followed their direction and jumped on the old interwebs to my retailer of choice, RockAuto, and ordered Bosch pads and rotors front and back. So I had nothing planned for the weekend figured I would do a little wrenching. Take the wheels off and start to unbolt the caliper, looked down and my rear pads still show about half life. Maybe they just meant the fronts, pop the wheel and they are showing even less wear. My question is it normal for the CX-5 to go 80000 miles on the original pads? I didn't think I drove like my grandmother but it is 70% highway/non city driving. For anyone that does your own maintenance the cost for 4 rotors and pads was less than $200 (Raybestos Element 3 rotors and Bosch Quiet Cast ceramic pads). It really a fairly easy job, and would not take more than 30 minutes per wheel.
Brembo make some fantastic road-orientated sintered pads, they improved my Street Twin loads.
Brembo low dust pads and oem rotors on my 330ci. Rotors tend to warp easy on these so I figured I'd stick with bmw.
I have Brembo brake pads and they are very noisy.
