Akebono pads have received great reviews. I think there are some people who have used them for the 2005 front calipers, but I'm not 100% positive about that.
Unfortunately, unless you have an early build 2005 (with the 4 piston calipers), you have the 2 piston calipers, which don't have very many aftermarket brake pads available.
The rear brake pads should be easy to find. A lot more options with those.

Most 2005 have 2 piston calipers in the sport package
The way to tell
2 piston caliper has two torx bolts on it and are more oval in shape
4 piston caliper has four allen bolts on it and are more square in shape
DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THESE BOLTS THOUGH!! OR YOU WILL BE BUYING NEW CALIPERS = $$$$$$

Some web sites will show an actual picture, so maybe this will help.
These are the pads for the four piston '04.5 sport models. Most web sites will list this pad for the '05 models as well, but they are not.
Here is what the correct pad looks like.
I hate brake dust, so I would advise against oem pads, but if you have no alternative, the MB part number is 003-420-95-20. Don't let the dealer jam you, I bought a set for $62.70.
