I'm not sure about this; the brakes on my GTI hydroplane in heavy rain. Hawk HPS pads didn't help. I put Teves slotted rotors on to help; next time it rains I'll see. They're coated with some kind of plating to keep the non wear surfaces from rusting. My only complaint about stock replacement rotors is the rust.
On the ML I've always run stock replacement pads & rotors. Yes the pads dust like crazy, but by the time the wheels turn gray the rest of the car needs a wash too. I really like the feel of the stock pads, and they have plenty of stopping power, even when towing.

Well mine's been on track once--station wagon runs at an SCCA driver's school years ago. Instructor: "This thing has a lot of body motion!" Me: "It's a truck." Instructor: "Oh yeah, I forgot."
