not to be a douche, but every single brake change I have done on a GS...if you do not use OEM stuff...it all seems to squeal. Not sure why. But OEM works best, and I normally buy whatever Napa or Vatozone has.

I used brembo blanks from tire rack.com on my SC300, SC400, Camry and another SC300 never had an issue at all. Just ordered a front set for my gs300.

I just put 4 new Duralast rotors on my car a few days ago. No squeaks yet. $40 each from Autozone.

I usually buy my rotors from R1Concepts, cheapest price for cross drilled and slotted I can find and they are good quality been using them for over 3 years. First with stock GS calipers and now with my supra TT fronts.

Alot of time when they are squeaking it seem as though people forget that they can get their rotors turned. I took mine into a shop and they were like brand new. I dont know what brand mine are, but they are Slotted/drilled and they dont squeeak

Check the vendor classifieds. Just get some Brembo blanks and ceramic pads and call it a day.
