Default ROTORS & BRAKE PADS: What kind should I get?

Hey guys, I need new brake pads for my truck, possibly shoes also. What kind should I get? I want something reliable and at the same time, something that will reduce brake dust. I also want to get new rotors, ones that are slotted and vented. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

brakeperformance.com. I think a lot of folks use this site. I am when I get to that point. Dimpled/slotted rotors and free pads for under $200.

Wow... those wheels make the rotors look even smaller than the already undersized rotors

That's what I went with and I've been very happy with them here in the land of everyone's "Oooh a fly, better stand on my brakes" (aka Jersey).

(yes I know the wheels are filthy, rest assured they've since been cleaned )

Also, I heard that EBC makes good pads. What do you think?
