Default Brakes: discs and pads

So MOT due in less than a month and after getting my hard earned money together for all around falkens the brake light just came on !
Decided to take it to kwikfit for a free check, result: front discs under 26mm and rear ones not lot left on them either. Pads are worn out which triggered the light.
Now I've been through a lot of threads on here to see who recommends what discs and pads wise but ain't found nothing.
American forum recommend rotex gold but impossible to find over here !
So what are your thoughts on:

-Front and rear Brembo MAX discs (£120 in total)
-Mintex pads ( used to have them on my old Hyundai coupe but hated the squeaking) but they're cheap
- EBC red stuff , dust free, fairly expensive and a loooong break-in (1000 miles!!!! They say !!!!).
What have u guys got on?
Still can't believe kwikfit wanted £350 for all round discs and pads!!! More like KwikTheft to me lol

Thanks
