Bendix and DBA are good. Never heard of that other name. I also like Remsa pads if you like to push the car a bit and don't mind a fair bit of black brake dust that isn't too hard to wash off.

I'll let you know when the Bendix Ultimate front rotor and brake pads turn up next week.
Plan is do the swap, power bleed and replace the fluid with Castrol React DOT4.
I'll throw the new Goodridge braided front brake lines I got from Race Brakes Sydney in at the same time.

In what way do you consider you were ‘burnt’ as you call it?
Just explain EXACTLY what your problem is please?
