Time to replace mine, any suggestions? I see this advertised, but don't know much about them.

The OEM pads have a reputation for lasting a long time. Were you dissatisfied with them?

77,000 miles and the rotors have small grooves. So I figured it was time to change the pads and turn the rotors. Bought the truck used, so I can say much on how well they worked for the first 76,000 miles.

Check the inboard side of the rotors for pitting and delamination.
I used Bendix "Fleet Metal" pads. No problems so far. My rotors were
trash at 42K.
