I was always a fan of Wagner Thermoquiet. In the last 15 years, I always plan to replace the rotors and pads together. If I'm spending an hour or two of my time, the rotors are relatively cheap. Plus I tend to warp fronts.
I have had newer vehicles recently and not changed brakes in 8 years, though. After 100k miles on our Suburban, I had some metal on metal sound from the brakes. Front rotors are a little warped, but about hald pad life left. Rears were worn fairly evenly with one pad no friction material left. This time I tried Powerstop Z23 rotors and pads at about $200/axle. So far with 1000 miles I really like them. I have only towed some smaller trailers, but I can feel the improvement already.
