Default Brake Suggestions?

I'm going to buy new brake pads and rotors for both my w124's ('95&'93) soon and was wondering if there was another "brand" better than the OEM brake system? (pads, calipers and rotors)

We have StopTech's drilled or slotted direct replacement rotors for front and rear. There are several good aftermarket pads available.

Porterfield is most popular.

Question on the Stoptech rotors..... Do they need to be turned? Some aftermarket rotors need to be turned, some don't.

Thanks, in advance.
