you don't want a better pad in the rear than the front, there's too much rear bias as is

You shouldnt have a problem with that combo. If you want longer lasting and slightly better performance, go for blank rotors, if you want looks, get drilled and slotted.

I put a package together that utilizes top shelf components at a good price.

If you need good brake fluid also, we can help you out. If you don't want slotted rotors, I can work with you on that as well.
