you will get a hundred different opinions on brakes
my advice is get what you can afford and DIY only takes a little time and you can save yourself HUNDREDS of dollars
AND if you get lifetime warranty pads from a local auto parts that is a one time cost, when they wear out you take them back and get brand new ones for free
straight win-win scenario
for instance the local dealer has a "brake special" $399 PER AXLE !!!! (that does not include new rotors if needed, only turning them if they can be)
I do them myself for about $60 (not including new rotors) as usually you can get away with just a pad swap if there is no grooving
next time it will be zero cost unless I need rotors

My preference is GM OE brakes. They maintain shortest stopping distance and last a long time. We get 85K plus miles out of OE pads.

Now having said that, we did buy ACDelco Performance towing brakes for our lifted Sierra and will be putting them on very soon.
