Default Non-Pontiac related brake question

I am going to throw pads and rotors on my son's 2018 Nissan Maxima.

He has been unhappy with the noisy brakes on the car from day one. He had continually complained about scuffing noises in the brakes that I threw on a set of Autozone pads and rotors on the fronts to silence him and the car ... that worked for a while. Now he has the typical pedal pulsing and worn pads that say it's time.

What to install??? I've browsed the following, all in the same relative price range:

Raybestos (my choice) ceramic pads w. coated/drilled/grooved rotors

S3 ceramic pads and coated/drilled/grooved rotors

Detroit Axle ceramic pads and coated/drilled/grooved rotors

Brembo ceramic pads with their plain rotors

I think Raybestos is a legit product plus they have a rubberized pad backing for quiet operation. Brembo is right around the same price but performance brakes don't necessarily make for quiet, long lasting brakes but in all likelihood will brake well but aren't so great when cold.

What are your thoughts?
