Some owners insist that you must use Nissan factory brake parts to avoid brake squeal. However, I've had good results with name-brand replacement parts such as Raybestos.
Some brands of replacement brake pads come with a single-use tube of anti-squeal compound right in the box. These products may be bought separately. Ask for Permatex Disk Brake Quiet or CRC Disk Brake Quiet. See

These anti-squeal products are sometimes referred to by the slang name Blue Goo. The Permatex DBQ is blue but the CRC DBQ is red.

... How long are brakes supposed to last?
Brake pads can wear out in 20K miles or 100K miles. It depends on your car (brakes wear faster with automatic transmission), your driving style, your driving environment. In a stop-and-go urban area brakes wear quickly. In 100% highway driving the brake pads never wear out because they are lightly used.
Pads with hard friction materials last longer than those with soft materials. However, hard pads tend to wear the rotors faster than soft pads. Pads are less expensive than rotors, and easier to replace. For that reason I prefer soft pads.
