Default front brake pads... opinion needed

My car just went over 60k miles. I have a vibration in the front end that cant be fixed by balanceing and rotating the tires. I may have a warped rotor, and will replace the rotors and pads in the near future. Who has experience with aftermarket front brake pads, and can give me pros and cons on hawk, mintex, and oter brands? Also, is there any special tools required to change the brake rotors and pads on the front? I have access to tools and lifts, but special tools willl stump the car geeks at my "shop". Thanks for the responses.
