Default Replacement Brake Suggestions

Just passed 48k miles on my 2003 and it's time for new brakes (rotors and pads).

Any suggestions on which brake setup I should purchase? I'm looking for something that would be a good substitute for OEM brakes - same stopping power but a little more life would be nice. Know of any places where I can get brake parts for cheap?

I used Honda pads and Brembo rotors (fronts rotors only), but then I did not have to change then till 70K miles.

So I was not looking for any more life, but am hoping for a bit less susceptibility to warping in the front rotors.

I happen to like the brake pads made by PBR/Axxis. I've had great success with that product line in the other family cars (Metal Masters in the front, Deluxe in the rear). I don't know if they make them for the Pilot as of yet, but I imagine they do.
