Brake Pad Question

I'm getting ready to do a brake job on my 07 SL550 and looking for any suggestions on brake pads and rotors. Leaning towards brembo rotors and have had good success with Rotex gold pads very good bit and very little DUST! That's what I'm looking for little dust. Thanks in advance.

Akebono is my choice

I just put Akebono pads on the front of my SL55 and they have very little dust, no funny noises, and perform like stock.

Thanks I'll do some reading I've heard of them and supposed to be a good pad. Thanks again
