Rotors/Pads

My 94 s320 MB needs new brakes.
There are a number of selections out there but to pick which one. Its easy to throw a set of OEM MB brakes on and drive, but I don't want the dreaded brake dust.
Rotor choices.....Balo, Zimmerman, ATE.
Pads......Akebono-Euro, EBC.
This is not a high spirited street burner but a heavy sedan for pleasure cruising so I'm opting towards Vented rotors not drilled and slotted.
Since most Ceramic pads are for performance high spirited driving I'm concerned as to how the choices might perform on a heavy sedan like s320.....brake squeal, brake pressure/feel and rotor wear with the pad rotor combination.
Any experiences with these brake products on a MB s320

Ceramic pads aren't just for performance driving, but they do take some getting used to, as the "stopping power" of the pad actually increases even if the pedal force remains the same. Just make sure you match the rotor metallurgy to the kind of pad you want to use and you'll be fine.
