Which Discs & Pads?

After taking my '03 One to the dealer to get an oil change and the usual health check etc, Mini informed me of needing new brake pads AND discs. After reading a few threads on replacement OEM units I would quite rather go for a well known aftermarket brand as they would probably turn out cheaper and would greatly outperform the OEM brakes, which I understand are not too great. What do you guys think about this? and also which disc and pad combination would you recommend? Cheers

MiniMania up in Ampthill (near MK) supplied and fitted me Zimmerman drilled discs and EBC Greenstuff pads for less than the dealer wanted for OEM items..... and the Zimmerman items performed much better

They look good too
