New Saab OEM pads are now Akebono, available from site sponsors. An inspection of the rotors will reveal whether new rotors are required; OEM Saab pads up to a certain year were very hard on rotors and chewed them up quickly. Don't know if 2005 would have had the old pads or new from the factory. If you have very bad front brake dust on the wheels, then you have the old pads, and you probably will need new rotors with your brakes.
If the tech recommended Wagner "Thermo Quiet", stay far away from these. I have them, they are silent, dust free, look like they will last forever, make the brake pedal feel like you are stepping on a balloon (yes, I bled the brakes, many times), and take forever to stop the car.
