I've had to order a good amount of stuff. Rotors, etc on the way. They have like 25+ different sets of pads from Raybestos, Akebono, powerstop and so on. Half of which say OE quality but how does one actually choose past choosing semi vs ceramic. They have 3 different Akebonos for standard 03 brakes. I really just want a better than oem brake with a linear feel. I don't track the car and do alot of highway miles. Rotors are slotted/cross drilled

 

Either will work fine. I have had good luck with the Raybestos option...around $17-18. Semimetallic will probably feel better first stop, but ceramics will dust less. I say you go with the cheapest option and let us know how it works for you.

 

I have centric posi quiet ceramic pads in my beater and find them to be good enough. They dont have the bite I want in my Z but are pretty linear, quiet, and low dust.
