I personally like drilled with semi-metallic pads.
I find that the ceramic pads do a great job, but wear down the expensive rotors much quicker.
Even with the '00 v6 model, I've found the stock rotors and semi-metallic to be sufficient to bringing her to a dead stop in short order, even with the turn into work being at the bottom of a 3mi hill. If you've got drum breaks in the rear, I would definitely upgrade the fronts. I've got the 4 wheel disc, which makes a difference.
