Lots of threads on this exact topic if you do a search, most recently about a week ago.
I like Axxis Deluxe pads (I bought them from Zeckhausen Racing, a board sponsor). Almost no dust, similar pedal feel and bite, once they are bedded in. If you don't mind the dust, get OEM pads from the dealer as they will be the quietest. I would go with OEM rotors, as others I have used have had more rust issues on the hub. The OEM replacements were the best of the lot in this respect. Make sure you get a brake pad sensor from the dealer for each axle that you are replacing pads on.
