Brake pads Centric or Mintex
Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.
Pros: nearly zero dust
Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too
Pros: better than chain store offerings
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics & 120 Series rotors from Tire Rack. Though not a CX5, my Mazda6 is running at 60k miles on this set.
Pros: long lasting, quiet
Vehicle:

Zimmerman Cross drilled rotors from FCP Euro with Centric posi quiet ceramic pads. So much less brake dust with these pads compared to stock.
Pros: less brake dust
I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job
Pros: inexpensive, does the job
I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
