Default Brake Pads and Rotors recommendations?

It time to get new rotors and brake pads for my 2003 1.8 L WolfsBerg edition Jetta. I am not a gear head so do not know what to buy but I was wondering if there are any after-market parts which are good and cost less than OEM ones? If not, which are good ones I can buy and which products should I avoid? Thanks for any advice.

Go to Advanced Auto parts and purchase the store
brand....Wearever.... low priced and good quality.
I have Wearever brake rotors front and rear and Wearever
gold brake pads front and rear on a 4x4 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a V8 engine and the brakes have done great.
4rotors cost $125.00 verses $450.00 for factory.
The pads cost $ 25.00 per front and the same for the rear. verses $75.00 per front and rear factory.

Brembo cross-drilled/slotted is what I'm shooting for. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

R1 concepts on Ebay motors specializes in performance brake parts. Ibought drilled and slotted rotors for my 00 VR6 GLX from them for $192.00 for all 4. They come zinc coated to prevent rusting although they will....eventually.I got them from SoCal to Winnipeg, MB, CANin 6 days. Shipping was standard aswell as brokerage fees. After installation when i would apply the brakes, the car would stop quick and smooth with a lighter foot on the brake pedal.
