Several Brake Questions?

Sup Guys,

I currently have Brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors (ebay) and noticed light squeeking lately when applying the breaks signifying that I might need to replace my pads soon. I have several questions, which to go with? Ceramic? Semi-Metallic? Metallic? Also as far as brands should I go with EBC's (some say they're overated) Axxis or Hawk?

Additionally I have rear drums, should I replace those brakes pads also?
Question: When exactly are the rear brakes applied? I mean I always thought that rear brakes (especially drums) only worked when the emergency brake is applied. Please correct me if Im wrong.

BTW, I have a 99 GS Spyder, not sure if that makes a difference.

Thanks
