You could put on any type of manufacturer you like, as long as they make a pad and rotor that fits your car. We all have preferences; I personally used EBC RedStuff for pads and am still using the stock rotors.
Wear time varies by pad composition and driving style. My MB pads only lasted 20K miles.

Wease, how many times are you going to ask this question? It's been answered in your other thread.

Use Akibono EURO brake pads. They are dustless pads and do not squeak at all, I have some. To save money just slap em on and go. Mercedes states the rotors must be changed when the pads are. I have drilled and slotted rotors from an ebay store v-12 brake shop or v12 brake shop on ebay. Do a search... they are inexpensive and look very sweet.
