Most MB's chew through their front brakes more frequently than other makes. However, the parts are quite inexpensive and the brakes are amazing.

You probably won't see any performance difference with different discs. I would bet that you won't see any difference with different pads and discs, either. Most people return to OE parts for their superior performance and value.

My own C230 had new front pads and discs at 60,000kms and 128,000kms. The rear pads were swapped at 60,000kms but since the rear discs were in such good shape, I left them in. I'm still on those pads and the original rear discs.
