I went with Napa premium (although I've heard bad about them too haha). My issue with the OEM was they were warped when I bought the truck used, I had them machined, they warped again... I then read on this forum that others claimed the OEM warped easy so I decided to take a chance with something else. The ones I purchased were slotted and I haven't had any issues since.

I went with hawk lts pads front and rear and ebc slotted rotors for the front. The rear rotors were gone do I didn't replace those....the pads I love and recommend to everyone, good stopping power and low dust. The rotors I don't care for. They aren't warped,but I can feel the slots as I slow down and its an annoying chatter in the brake pedal. When it's time I'll get the plain rotors with these hawk pads

When questions like this come up, I always offer this advice: were you happy with the performance and service the OEM part offered? If so, stick with OEM.
There are of course, other great brake pads and rotors being sold as replacements. For me, it comes down to price for a quality part.

The stock pads and rotors are junk. They warp easily, and cover everything in brakedust. I have heard a lot of good things about the hawk pads. I went with the set of drilled/slotted rotors and pads off eBay from brake motive on ebay. Couldn't be happier with them. The ceramic pads leave zero dust, and you could really feel the improvement in braking power over stock. Can't beat the price neither.

I went with EBC sport slotted and dimpled with yellow pads on all four corners and love them.
