Not sure. Only used hawks pro. Great for the price and low dust

Rotors I have no personal experience. Always had factory ones installed.

i'm just browsing around different sites and i'm finding that rotors are actually more expensive than the pads

Just stick with plain OEM rotors like Zimmerman and skip the drilled, nonsense and get either akebono euro ceramic pads which i have or HAwks hps ceramic.
Stopping power wil increase and you will drastically reduce brake dust!

Hawk Performance Ceramic makes some good pads. I just replaced on my Mom's BMW 323. Compared to stock, less dust and no squeal. The Tire Rack made the recommendation.
