Default Brake pad / rotor suggestion needed

I'm in the final stages of doing the Legend GS caliper swap w/ prelude rotors. Now I just need to find out what kind of rotor and pad to get. I know for the rotor I just want a blank disc so is there a difference between the stuff sold at pep boys and a brembo blank? For pads I just want something that'll keep up when I go canyon driving and wont dust up. Would be nice if the pads dont rip the rotors to pieces either. Any suggestions on either?

i drive accord, but we put axxis metal master semi metallic brake pads on my bro's legend. works great. felt a difference when first installed. other legend owners use green stuff.

get oem pads.... theyre quiet and less likely to crack. brembo blanks should be cheaper than OEm, so just get those

i would suggest hawk hps pads. even though they're dusty as hell, they don't glaze the rotors. i haven't been able to glaze these rotors yet while the AEM big rotors were always shiny with my OEM pads. just my observation
