Default Standard Brakes..?

Hi...I know this could be in the brakes section but I could do with quicker advice

I currently have stardard 4 pot discs and pads
Car:- Impreza Uk WRX 2001 Yreg

I need new front pads and standard pads have been quoted as £69 fitted

Is it worth getting:

Mintex?

Pagid?

What about this set?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMPREZA-FR...item5ad91a1a59

I don't think that I can afford Greenstuff....and has anybody heard of BlackDiamond?

Anyways....a place I know will fit the pads for about £25 so, I can stretch to about £75 for the pads.....any ideas?

.....am I just best sticking to the originals...I don't go mental all the time but I have noticed slight fade in the past...

I mean...if the disk and pad set is an amazing value then I might be able to stretch but cash is tight at the moment..

Fit the pads yourself, it really isn't difficult.

I've got Pagid disc's and pads on mine, they work really well, and the pads were £30 or so.
