Which brakes for DD? "Good, better, or best"?

[kushKrawlin]

So I'm about to walk in auto-parts store and get brakes for my Duramax and my girls hunk o **** G6.. Generally they give you three options good, better, and best.. Ranging from $20-$100.. was just going to get you guys opinion before I make a mistake.. Which ones do you guys get?? Something tells me the gold which is the best it's probably not going to be your answer. Thanks for any advice! I will be there in about 10 minutes if they are open. Her brakes sound like ass and it's finally time for mine. 220k miles on factory set. could get more but they are low...

I usually go with the cheap or middle grade. The ceramic seem to wear out the rotors before the pads fail. It's cheaper to replace pads than rotors. ( just my opinion)

You get what you pay for with brakes. Never use anything other than OEM quality. Bendix or Wagner. Less dust longer lasting and they won't eat your rotors. Most OEM brakes are one or the other.

Well that's kinda wat I was thinkin.. So after 2 sets for her car and 2 for mine I walked out at 225 buks. And a tear rolling down my face as I thought about all of the things I could buy for $200 for My rig. brakes suck. Think I'm spoiled working ony rig, everything is easy to get to. New stuff sucks. Thanks for the input fellas!!
