Which new discs/pads??

Whilst painting my front caliper earlier ( after struggling to get the wheel off as it was rusted on) , I noticed that my brake disc has seen better days ( 62,000 on a 2007 Coupe) and got me thinking about replacing.
Not sure what to go for- standard discs again or some drilled/grooved jobs? I had some EBC discs years ago on an Impreza and they seemed pretty good ( though not sure they're any better than standard particularly as I am not doing any track work.)

Also looking to get some low-dust pads as I am fed up with the wheels being black again so soon after cleaning even with brake dust guard that still lets a fair bit stick although it easier to remove than not applying it.

So what do folks recommend for new discs and are something like EBC yellowstuff pads any good- both in braking and low dust!
 
Just done a little research and might go for the EBC USR slotted discs with redstuff pads.
Quite pricey at nearly £300 just for the fronts but do seem to be top quality and ideal for the coupe.

Also, the Redstuff pads are very low dust- so just what I need!
 
I went for the low cost MTec disks (slotted and grooved) and the textar ePads. The ePads definitely reduced my dust a lot and the performance has been excellent.

Disks still look great too.
 
I use mtec drilled and grooved pads as are great on a budget, and ebc red stuff pads are really low dust and decent performance wise for the money.
 
I've just replaced the rears with ATE discs and textar epads, both from ECP. No problems yet, but only done 50 miles.
 
Not the front, but I've just done the rears on my coupe, I've used pagid disc's and bosch pads. Not problems yet and the dust seems low at the moment.
