Organic pads are prob the cheapest but they don't last long, maybe 5-6k miles and brake dust all day long. I normally run Duralast Gold or BrakeBest - Premium Ceramic. Both are very quiet, clean and have low wear indicators. They will wear down your rotors more quickly but you will be able to turn them several times before replacing them. Duralast rotors or Bosch QuietCast both work out well. Last long.
Pro Tip:
Have another car available through the entire process in case you need to make a run to the auto store or to grab munchies.
Use clean paper towels to remove brake fluid from the reservoir. So I got her enough liquid to make it to the low indicator line. If you don't do that while you're doing your brake job then your reservoir will leak out fluid since you're pressing in the pistons for the brake calipers.
The two screws that hold your rotor to the car are not needed. They are just put in there to help the factory assemble the car. This was confirmed by the mechanics at the dealership. If you strip out the screw then put some electrical tape or packing tape over the screw (adhesive side on screw) then try again. If that doesn't work I suggest getting these
SpeedOut Damaged Screw Extractor & Bolt Extractor Set

I got this kit because I stripped out my screws and the tape strategy didn't work out for me.
I recommend just buying the brake rotors when dropping off your old rotors to get resurfaced that way if you get a call and they tell you they cant resurface the rotors you already have new rotors to put in a don't have to make an extra trip to the store to get rotors. If they call you to tell you that they were able to resurface rotors then you can just go ahead and return the brand-new rotors unused.
Also you can get som Disc Brake Quiet to help remove brake squeaks on new pads. The Duralast Golds have adhesive on the shims so they don't need it.
The rears can be a tough due to hand brake assembly. Auto Zone loans out the specially tool kit to push in the piston so you can fit the new calipers.., They just require a deposit, you can loan then for up to 90 days, way better than Orielly which is 24 hours.
After you do your brake job and get your car back together then turn it on leave the hand on and pump the brakes six times to help a bleed out the system if you don't and you just start driving your brakes won't work until you pump them several times.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
