Need Advice on Brake Pads, More

Got quote below. Need new front brake pads, patch exhaust (has rusty hole), mount tires/balance, wheel alignment. How do I know if pads are good quality or not? AAMCO charges half price so I'm concerned they might be garbage.

I purchased these tires also for my FX35 (2006 AWD)
