break noise

I recently changed the brakes on my 97 ford explorer. It hasnt stopped making noise since i did. i talked to a mechanic and he told me that i shouls put brand name brake pads on it. i used autozone break pads. he reccomended bendix pads. Has anyone ever tried bendix?

i use the bendix on all of my vehicals, never had a problem and get a year or a little more out of them.
