I would and if you want to try ceramic wait until you start out with
fresh rotors.

I will probally just buy the autozone duralast gold brand instead of the
standard lifetime warranty duralast pad.

Personally, I like to be able to stop when 'I' want to, no matter how
steep I am pointing down or how big my tires are so I go with the
highest friction pad and shoe I can find. This also normally translates
to the cheapest on the shelf also provided the cheapest have rivets
holding the pad onto the backing plate. I have had far too many glued
pads fall off over the years so stick with rivets.

My brakes on both my Jeeps have worn down very nicely over the years
without ever warping a rotor or drum. I only need to replace hard parts
if something breaks, not from over wear.
