1- Local shop quoted Wagner pads but will likely use whatever I want. Problem is I don't know what is best. Any suggestions?

My preference is the Raybestos Enhanced Hybrid Technology. Also Ceramic

3-Rear brakes are still ok they say, although getting close. Any reason to do both at same time other than convenience?
Hard to believe that rears are "close". Most vehicles the rear shoes/pads "rot" before they wear out.

That is the correct answer ! Again, if you need rotors, you want premium brand rotors.
