W124 Front Brake Pads? Preference? (300D 2.5)

Hey everyone,

Its coming time to replace my front brakes on my 300D. I've got some rotor warp so I'm lining up parts for the replacement.

I've selected ATE PremiumOne Rotors as I've always had good luck with them in the past.

I am not sure on pads. Currently the car has pads that the previous owner bought directly from Mercedes-Benz. They're got a good feel to them and seem to be very low dust. I can get them for $80-100 a set but that's nearly double what I can get from any where else!

I see the following brands:
Textar
Jurid
Pagid
ATE
Bendix
Mercedes
Akebono
a few other non-familiar names too..


What's your preference?

Also this is the first Mercedes that I've owned/worked on that is single piston front brakes. All my 126's are dual, my 190E is quad...I never thought MB used single piston fronts.. interesting for sure.
