Brake Pads and Rotors
I will be replacing my pads and rotors in the next couple of weeks. I will most likely be using Zimmermann rotors and Jurid pads. The other option for rotors were ATE. What are your thoughts on these products? Should I use Zimmermann or ATE rotors? Should I use Jurid pads? If anyone has experience with these, please let me know what you think of them. If you have other recommendation on products, please let me know as well.
Thanks

And I went with Brembo rotor disks and Hawk pads (ceramic low dust). Very happy with the results. Worth spending a few dollars more.

I used a Power Stop Z23 Coated Evolution kit for all 4 corners. Amazing braking out of this setup and no dust. I've definitely put it through its paces in Northern AZ without the slightest hint of squeal or fade. Some spirited driving to be had there. The only tiny complaint is the quick chirp I get backing out of my driveway in the morning. I've heard that's a very common issue for carbon-fiber ceramic when they're cold. It only lasts for the first stop down the driveway in the morning. I've never heard it any other time.

I like Zimmermann simply because I believe they are actual original equipment.
I can recall when original rotors began appearing with the gray coating, and it's the same coating Zimmermann calls Coat-Z
Also, Sinsheim where Zimmermann is located is a really short distance from Stuttgart. When I did the MBCA Germany Tour in 2006 we bussed there from Stuttgart to tour the Transportation Museum.
I have only rare beliefs that aftermarket is better than original equipment. I do understand channels of distribution and can understand the Mercedes channel isn't the cheapest.
