The OEM parts for our trucks are going to be hard to beat in this case for durability, safety, and longevity. Powerstop, Hawk, EBC, etc. all sell premium aftermarket/upgrade parts like pads and rotors.
I have had the powerstop rotor and extreme tow pads for a while. Very happy with the results. I have installed the same set on another superduty and have had great results with that also. 05 CCSB 6.0 Bullet Proofed, 575rwhp 980rwtq Warren 190/75's, Barder 2.5, Warren and Gearhead tunes.

Ford Brakes. The pads and rotors you get for your truck will be based on a few choices. Since you do not tow or heavily load your truck, if you are happy with the current brake performance then you have basically three choices. If you want noise and dust control then a premium pad such as Bendix CT3 will give you that.

I ended up putting powerstop pads on my wifes car too. very low dust and fairly economical. I would definitely follow the brake pad break in instructions though. for example my wifes car said : install pads, check everything then: do 5 aggressive stops from 45mph to 5mph, 5 moderate stops from 25-10mpg then drive around for 5-10 minutes to cool.
I bought the best set of Autozone rotors they sell. Replaced the pads but towing a 40' 5th wheel toy hauler the front brakes are warped again. Mostly my fault as I didn't keep up with the trailer brake adjustments. 02 F350 CC 7.3 PS, auto, 6x6, 4.10 gears LB. AFE stage 2 intake, 4" AFE SS exh, 6.0 atf cooler, DP tuner with five stages ...
The brake and ABS function design were developed around having the same frictional characteristics on both axles. So if you put a more aggressive material on the front axle, the brake balance will move more to the front. The '99 to '04 brake system was one of the most evenly balanced systems out there; we're no longer in 70/30 mode.
I also have a Banks exhaust brake because I tow a 40' 5th wheel toy hauler. 99% of the time there's a '66 Bronco off roader inside too. Off roading usually means mountain roads. Weigh is tremendous so truck gets the best of everything. Trailer is a triple axle with brakes on all wheels. 02 F350 CC 7.3 PS, auto, 6x6, 4.10 gears LB.
The drilled and slotted rotors will eat pads quicker but I don’t see how you smoked them in 20k miles. Hell people that bought the cheapest made in India crap out there went 60k towing heavy. 05 F350 King Ranch CCLB. Colt II cam, Atlas 40, Livewire, KC 04 Wheel. 2020 Ford OEM puck hitch.
