I've had great success with PBR, aka Aaxis(sp?), Deluxe pads. PBR also makes the MetalMaster pad, a semimetalic, which some on this board swear by.
I've had great luck with the Deluxe. It is a bit softer pad which grabs quickly when cold. I had trouble with MM on wife's Aero, they would not grab on the first few stops in the morning. I put on Deluxe, and the brakes were fine.
In fairness, I must say that there was some disbelief in these results from one or more individuals on this board, so I put the MM with 3000mi on them into my CSE. They worked fine. A bit slower with the MM on first stop, but nothing objectionable.
The deciding factor is your high speed use. If planning on frequent high speed stops, go with MM. If not I'd go with Deluxe.
Both pads seem to work very well with Saabs. My indy uses both, and he specializes in Saab. Many past posts have praised the Deluxe and MM. I think you will be well served by either.
If looking at rotors, steer away from the drilled or slotted variety. A number of folks have had problems with them with no increase in performance.
I hope this means you are planning on doing the job yourself! Fairly easy way to save a lot of $$.
