Default 06 Civic Ex - Rotors/Pads

Looking into replacing stock pads/rotors with a ceramic/cross-drilled-slotted combo. Doesn't have to be ceramic/cds, but I want it to be an improvement over stock.

Here's what I've kinda narrowed it down to (though I'm open to suggestions):

Pads: (Priced front/rear pad)
$45/45 BrakeBest Ceramic (O'Reilly's brand) here
$70/60 EBC Green Stuff here
$89/N/A EBC Red Stuff here
$65/65 Hawk Ceramics here

Rotors: (Priced per rotor)
$65 Powerstop CDS here
$70/$115 Roto-Tech CDS here
$75/60 EBC Ultimax CDS here (must buy a front set/ back set. Not individual rotors)
Last option is whatever the O'Reilly option is. Think its OEM.

SO. What's the word on my selections HT? What else should I look at? Why? What should I watch out for? Are these good/bad & why?

Thanks!

If you have a chance do a search on drilled rotors:

Stick w/Blank rotors, upgrade your pads, Hawk makes good quality affordable brake pads. And make sure to upgrade to stainless steel lines!!! Check your tires, better grip equals more stopping power.

Good Luck!!!
