Time to Change the Brakes; brand recommendations?

It's that time guys, started hearing a metal on metal sound when I was braking today. It's time to change the brakes! I was looking at this http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A5870A0A0.aspx for my brakes since I also want to change the rotors out. Anyone have any kits from other brands they recommend me check out? I'll also probably want to bleed the brakes, so any DOT 3 brake fluid would be appreciated.

Lots of people may disagree with me, but I honestly have always used the OEM brake pads. If you are tracking the car, then maybe you're in the market for something that will really tolerate lots of heat without fading. With my long gone 2010 Maxima, 2009 370Z and 2007 Altima 3.5SE, I always went to the dealer to get brake pads. For all around braking performance (cold and hot), they always held up very well and tolerated minor abuse without any issues. Oh yeah - and I got 70,000 miles out of rear pads and 120,000 miles out of front pads.

Just sayin...
