Which of these front pads would you recommend for my 2007 HHR?
1. Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1160
2. AcDelco 17D1160CH
3. AkeBono ACT1160

And don't have a clue how to choose rotors.

My father never used any of those brands so I think they stink.
Now, we will hear from everybody elses father's favorite brand that has changed hands 4 times since then.
In other words, favorite brands are like belly buttons; everybody has one.
My advice is to buy what you can afford from a vendor you trust.

Here is something to read:

PS
My farther was a carpenter and I had to do his brake jobs.
I've used Wagner and Delco.
I will favor ceramic for the brake dust issue.

My father was a mechanic and a truck driver. He's cheap and always buys the cheapest he can get. I usually buy middle of the road. Like what OldBlue pointed out, the "daily driver" stuff. I've always been partial to NAPA's premium line of brake parts, but I've used a lot of the other brand names out there. I've had pretty good success with Bosch and Raybestos as well.
