what are the best or most reliable aftermarket brake parts

I am handy enough to change all of my brakes and rotors on all my other vehicles. I want to replace the front brakes and rotors for a 2014 ML 350. Can anyone give me a recommendation for a source for reliable aftermarket parts. No inferior imitation parts from China or other sources

My favorite sources for parts are:
https://www.fcpeuro.com/
https://www.ecstuning.com
https://www.pelicanparts.com

You can buy Genuine MB parts on all of those as well as aftermarket ones. Textar and Pagid (pads) along with Zimmerman (rotors) are an OEM supplier, although i'm not 100% certain they are for MB. Akebono make good pads as mentioned above. I've read that a significant reduction in brake dust comes at the cost of a slight loss in initial bite.
