I looked into these issues last year. It is very easy to waste money, with no improvement.
First - measure the thickness of your rotors. If they're at or near minimum, then replace them. Near new Holden rotors are dirt-cheap, thanks to all them young blokes doing "upgrades" on new cars.
"Machining" is waste of money: either they need replacing, or they don't.
There are lots of threads on JC discussing choices of rotors, and of pads: the "search" button is your friend.
Personally, I like the "low dust" option - I don't like brake dust covering my wheels.
Bendix are a popular brand of pads (and there are other good brands). But Bendix make several grades, or varieties, of pads in the same size, so you have a choice.
But Bendix also make some (but not all) of the pads which are sold as the house brand in Repco & in SCA.
