Recommendation for Brake Kits

I have a 2005 2wd Lariat wth 120k. Back in May the truck was shaking when braking, had a free brake inspection done and said all 4 rotors were warped. I didn't do any research like I should have and got a cheap 4 rotor+pads kit from Callahan. I installed them and the shaking went away but the soft pedal was still there. Now all 4 are covered in rust already and one came with a couple of chips in it and another got a chip from when the truck fell off the jack onto it. (My fault, didn't put e-brake on or blocks up front because I was just checking for a pinion leak real quick so didn't go through my usual process for jacking.) Anyways there's chips in them and they're rusted OEM version rotors. My question is what's a good rotor and pad combination? All my driving is on the road, never go off road much or tow other than a couple times a year. I've heard someone go with Centric 2 piece conversion kit with Wagnor TQ's up front and Duralast (or alike) for the rear with Wagnor TQ pads and they loved it. Any thoughts on what to get or what yall are using?

Though made in china, Powerstop drilled & slotted kits are nice. I just put their kit up front on my truck and it is gtg.

I went with Centric blanks in the front and EBC Greenstuff 6000 pads all around with better than OE results in stopping and minimal dust. EBC is known in motocycle racing (how I first heard about them), and I like their automotive applications.
