Default Changing pads and rotors

Gaday, all,
Our o6 manual focus has 76000kms on it and at the service today they said rotors and pads need doing.
have read a few threads on this so I think I will be going for RDA slotted rotors. If anyone knows the cheapest place to point me I would appreciate it.
Pads Im not sure of. To be honest I dont need race car brakes, but an improvement over standard would be a bonus. So stuff like greenstuff pads and the like are a bit to much $$$$$ for the driving our car does. I think maybe the EBC ultimax reg 90 pads are better suited at $125.
I also have the options of stuff like ferodo's from repco at about $80 a set.
Also, are there any specifics to this job. When I did my BA XR8 the manual specified using new torque to yield caliper bolts which I did. I dont have a focus manual so if anyone has one I would appreciate caliper bolt torquewrench values etc.
Any advice on your experiences is appreciated , and also on who does the best prices.
Cheers
