What brand and where should I purchase new rotors and brake pads for 03 Sport Trac?

My 2003 Sport Trac is in need of new brake pads and rotors. I'm gonna have someone change them for me but I need to order the parts. I can always go to O'Reilys or somewhere but I figure there has gotta be a place online that is cheaper. Only problem with that is I don't know which brands are best and where I should buy them. Not really looking to break the bank but also don't want to buy anything that will break and kill me. Any info from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at Amazon but I don't know what brands are good and which are not.

I went with raybestos 680026 professional-grade rotors and Raybestos AT-D833C ceramic pads for my 2002 Explorer. Not sure if those part numbers are right for your vehicle.

They are working out great; 9-months/10k miles, very little dust from ceramic pads; I did this right before I got a travel trailer and have towed several times since then. They aren't the cheapest brand/quality, but since I buy online and do the work myself, I spring extra $$ for better parts.
Hope this helps.
