How many miles are on the rotors and the pads? You didn't mention when you threw on the new pads, but I'm sure it wasn't when the car was brand new in 2018. Accounting for maybe a year or two, your original post indicates that this set of rotors and pads is likely no older than 4 years.

It sounds like this isn't necessarily a problem with what parts you put on the car, but instead, how it's being driven.

The Raybestos stuff is probably what I would go with personally and if the rotors are warped at all, I'd probably get new rotors. As already mentioned, the cost of rotors has come down so much that it's not longer really economical to turn rotors anymore.

But again, it sounds like the brakes are being very heavily used in this vehicle. If that's the way your son drives, then it's the way he drives, but you can't expect long life, low noise and low dust in that type of usage environment.
