Brakes and Rotors: Go Aftermarket or keep stock?

[Werewolf]

Looking for some advice. My 2001 x5 3.0i is about 2 months away from needing F/R pads and rotors.

I want to make this a DIY repair. Cuz I am cheap and I want to learn how.

The question is whether or not I should go aftermarket or keep using the OEM parts

Desires:
1) low noise levels on braking
2) less brake dust
3) better real world stopping power (panic and traffic)

My thoughts were to put in Brembo slotted and Axxis pads up front and Brembo solids/blanks and Axxis pads in the rear

What do you think? Are there other brands I should look at?

Thanks in advance!
