OEM. You are paying a pretty high premium for OEM stuff. I am not an expert on parts, but have read here that Brembo rotors are as good as original, and I think you could get them (4) for under $200. My indy who does Saabs exclusively, Robert Davis a guru on this board, and I use Aaxis/Repco Deluxe pads. They seem to grab just as well, dust less, and cost about $35/pair. So for less than $270, you could buy what it appears you are willing to spend $450-500 to get OEM.
If you really want to go OEM, you might try some of the sponsors on this board to see what they quote for rotors and pads. That should get you an idea of whether the parts line up with what you have been quoted. Your indy may be willing to use parts you purchase, but also may balk as they generally take a markup on parts.
I hope others will voice their experiences with OEM/aftermarket.
