Check the sig, chose to stay with stock rotors, because they were fine after they were machined. Chose the pads, because they would stop me a lot faster(Improved braking is always a good thing) and the dust they produced was not super nasty and tough to wash off. Also considered Hawk, EBC green and Porterfield R4S pads. Cost is always a consideration, but was secondary to performance.

$22 autozone rotors(duralast). cant beat the warranty, and i dont want to machine material off.
Cobalt Racing Brakes GT-Sport pads. better than everything else i have used(axxis, porterfield, hawk). they dust alot more than stock pads, but grab 10 billion times better and dont fade until you 6-7 60 mph panic stop.
