Default Looking for a new braking set up for my accord

So I'm looking to swap out the pads and rotors.
I heard that some brands do not match well and squeel ALOT.
I was thinking Brembo slotted with Axxis organic.
What seems to have worked on your accords?

usually the higher friction pads squeal.. so better the pads grip, the more likely it'll squeal..

i'm using the brembo slotted with nissin pads.. to eliminate/reduce the squeal, i applied a strip of 'disc quiet' gel on the shims.. it acts like a dynamat to dampen the vibrations that cause the squeal.

try and get axxis ultimates if you can...great pads in cold or hot, minimal amount of fade...and you can't go wrong with brembo rotors...

EBC greens are very good pads, match them w/ some decent discs like the slotted or CD offerings from http://www.tasauto.com and you're good to go. Of course, as everyhting they do is knock off, Tenzo now has a BB kit for the accord that is identical in look (dunno bout function) to the AEM set ( I have them, love them) and only runs $300 (12.1")

so you know, only slotted/drilled brembos are the top-o-the line....(i forget the name)....all others are drilled by an outside company.....blanks are underrated

With the axxi ultimate, I heard some people sayin they squeel.
Also I was told that certain pads will eat into the rotor and vice versa depending how I match the pads and rotors?
I do normal street driving and was looking into the slot because I think the slots will help with the brake dust.
I know cross drilled are unnecessary for my application.
