Need to change my brakes and rotors

For some time now i had some bad vibration at highway braking due to some of my alignment issue. Since that has been fixed good the shaking slowly vanished but its still present to a certain degree. Im at 28000 miles right now and its a 2005 (i know not to many miles, im mostly driving it on weekends) The rotors are rusted pretty bad. So thats another reason to change them.

My thing is that im not looking for any crazy performance, just something that is better or equal to OEM. Maybe a little better looking

I was looking at EBC rotors and pads. They have the goldish color slotted and dimpelled rotors and then they have the ultimax rotors and pads which are actually cheaper and they market them as being very quiet and so on...

i can get the whole front and back kit... ultimax rotors and ultimax pads for 350 shipped from autoanything. * they have a 10% discount

would you recommend or advise agaist it or recommend something else...

Duralast Gold CMAX pads and it seems everyone has good experiences, low dust and it only cost 60 bucks from autozone.
