The brakes on my blazer are horrible. I think that the front rotors and pads are glazed, and they are only about a year old, plenty of meat on them. I tried the procudure that tirerack gave to unglaze them, it worked for about a day or two. I was thinking of getting the OEM pads and rotors, but would like something a little better if it's not much more money. I will be towing a boat this spring and want to have good brakes. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good pad/rotor combination?

Ceramic pads for sure.
Slotted rotors they might be what your looking for if not the OEM ones they carry in store should do the job.

What I recommend is the same thing I do on my own: The cheapest rotors that you can find. The best ceramic pads, (slotted and chamfered, with riveted on shims) that you can find. Bendix, Raybestos and Wagner all make excellent quality pads. Replace and lube all of the hardware. Make sure the pistons are not binding in the caliper bores. Make sure the rear brakes are working properly and adjusted correctly. I've been doing brakes this way for years with no squeaks, fade, or pull and typically get 50,000 miles on a brake job. Keep in mind that yes, I’m old, but the fact remains, it works.
