The brake parts (rubber guards and shims) aren't expensive at all spare the rotors and pads. I'd be surprised if you actually need to replace the rotors, they just may need to be turned.

How many miles does the car have on it?
I replaced with OEM - brakes feel better. I had some performance aftermarket brakes that I really wasn't fond of. The noise is practically gone now.
The car has 52k on it. I got a good deal because the car is still under warranty.

As long as it's safe and makes you happy it's not a bad decision
