Need new brakes Porterfield pads and new rotor's

I am looking to do Brake pads and rotors again after 15k miles. for the front. From what I have read the Porterfield pads sound great. Do they work well with stock oem rotors. Is anyone using these. I am worried about the bedding process being done correctly so I don't have squell or vibration. Also will stainless steel really feel better. I have an 03 c32. I am in Newport Beach, and wondering who can do a good job putting these on. Also does type of brake fluid make a big difference.

I have stock rotors and Porterfields....no problem, works great. Break them in properly and they should be noise free. Stainless steel what? Brake fluid needs to meet/exceed MB spec.
