Default Brakes - 32k miles

07 Pilot with 32k miles and the brakes are shuddering pretty bad.
Went camping this weekend with the pop-up camper and it shook pretty bad when braking hard - i mean bad!
So - the question is... resurface rotors and replace the pads, or replace everything?
The brakes have been shuddering for over a month or so now (wifeys car) but really bad this past weekend with the weight of the camper up & down the hills of WV!

Not sure if I should just put OEM back on or just what ever the auto parts store has (for both rotors and pads??)
I do not want to put ceramic pads.

Opions suggestions welcomed.

Were you feeling pulsing in the pedal or was the whole car shuddering.

Pedal and steering wheel... but at times it was so bad the entire car shuddered (and woke up my 2 year old!).
I talked to Tim at HondaAcuraWorld who was extremely helpful - I have ordered front OEM pads and will attempt resurfacing the front rotors.
Hopefully the fronts can be resurfaced and it solves the issue and I don't have to buy new rotors!
