I'm about to replace the rotors and pads on my 01 saturn sc1, front and back. I was wondering what's the best brand to get as far as not warping or wearing too quickly. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Depends on your preference. Many like the Duralast Champion ceramic pads from autozone. They create less brake dust and "seem" to stop better. Others like just cheap metallic pads since the difference between them isnt worth the money. Theres fair amount of break dust with the metallic pads tho.
OEM pads from 00-02 are Ceramic by the way.
In either case, Regular OEM rotors are the chosen rotor :)
Also rotor "warping" is more dependent on how you brake then what kind of pads/rotors you have
