Default First DIY - brake pad and rotor replacement

I am about to undertake my first major DIY on my '98 Integra GS, which is to replace my brake pads and rotors and would like suggestions on what products to purchase to clean the calipers. Also, is there a particular brand/type of grease that's best for the pad shims? Molykote M77 is what the Helms manual suggests. I'll get that unless there's a good reason to get something else. Also, what can I use to help remove the problematic Philips head screws that secure the rotors? I'll be using an impact driver, but is there any other tool or lubricant that may be useful? Finally, is there any other preventive maintenance that I can perform while I do this brake job?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
