Brake pad question

I'm getting a new set of rotora rotors for my 00, and was wondering what brake pads I should go with...OEM or ebc greenstuff. I'm stuck between the two. I've heard that the OEM pads are the most quiet pads, but they won't last as long as the greenstuff. How much longer will the greenstuff pads last, and are they the best option? Should I just change the front pads only, or all of em? Right now the front stock rotors on my car are warped, not sure about the rear ones.

Has anyone used the ebc oem replacements? I can't find a front pair on sale anywhere online-only the rear pair. Should I change all four pads?

You dont need to change all 4 I believe because the front 2 are the ones that wear out the fastest....you sure you cant find any front two's for sale online? If you cant you can try your local Acura Dealer but if not let me go check up some websites for ya

I can't find the front ebc oemstyle pads online...they're supposed to be just like the oem ones but will last longer. I'm probably gonna end up getting the oem pads if I can't find the front ebc's. Thanks for your help.
