at around $200 a pop for the wheel bearing assembly, i dont suggest replacing them if theyre not bad. as far as pads, i have the hawke LT ferrocarbon pads and they are awsome, low dust absolutly quiet and stop on a dime. 1000X better than stock. oh yeah it tells you how to bed the pads in the instructions. make sure and do it, its an important step that many people skip and will cuase issues later on.

OEM Brake pads are made of softer material unless they've been upgraded when purchasing the vehicle brand new. Most expensive pads are made of harder material and squeaks when rotors are hot. If you haven't already done so, have the rotors turned, or purchase the rotors and pads (as a set), while at it, replace or service the wheel bearings as well.
I got the 2nd best pads Autozone offered and just did the pad swap and roughed the pads up with sand paper (and of course cleaned the rotors) and I have not had a problem. I hated changing the rotors when the cheapie pad cracked and the rivetds dug into the passenger side rotor. PITA
