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

Second upgrade to Wagner Thermo quiet brake pads and rotors.
Pros: quiet braking
I just changed my rear breaks and rotors on my 2018 limited and will be doing the fronts next week, I have always used Wagner Breaks and rotors. I have been using them for 20 years and 5 of those vehicles have been jeeps with zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints, long use
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
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
Wagner OEX. It's built on a galvanized steel backing plate so it doesn't rust like the painted ones. It also uses a mechanical attachment system to hold the friction material instead of glue, so it won't crack/detach like the cheap pads.
Pros: rust resistant, durable
Cons: none mentioned
Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat
Pros: tough to beat
Last year on my 2013 I put on Wagner QS pads and Centric rotors, so far so good.

Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 90000 km

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic... I didn't like them at first, until I bedded them in one early morning and ended up warming up to them.
Pros: warmed up to them
Cons: didn't like at first
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
The pads are very smooth but tend to creak at very low speed (like <2 mph) and they're very grabby when wet. 20k miles and they're maybe halfway worn down despite a lot of city driving and some very hard braking on a couple of mountain roads.
Pros: smooth, long lifespan
Cons: creaking, grabby when wet
Mileage: 20000 km
