Default Options For brake Rotor/Pad replacement?

I'm in need of some new rotors and pads for the front. Anyone have good experiences with ebay stuff? The last time i ordered rotors from ebay was about 7-8 years ago for my mustang. They were from iRotors on ebay. Should i stay with that brand or go with something else or just go to Advance Auto and be done with it..

Thanks

Just posted this on another thread, but seems it might apply to you as well.

Last spring, the driver's side front cal froze on our 96 ES300. We needed to get the car up and running ASAP. I looked on line for cals and pads and the prices were all over the place, then adding shipping............ Called Advance Auto, they could have the cals that afternoon and they had the pads in stock. Ordered the cals and when picking them up bought the mid-level pads. Installed everything, swirled/cross hatched the rotors, bled the cals and have not no one second of trouble from the brakes since then. Quiet, smooth and strong. and saved quite a bit of money over what all the "specialty" parts were on line and other places. I think the cals and pads total were about $200
