Go original. After market will squeak in a few months. I know from experience.

it really depends on what you get. i have ebc green, no squeak. my friend has/had endless, no squeak. if you get really high performance metallic ones of course it will

personally, if you dont' care about aftermarket at all, just go with factory, you can't lose. otherwise, go with aftermarket, usually it's for very comparable price (or even a tad cheaper)

you can go aftermarket but make sure they are semi metalic and not Ceap ones like Rayabestos, just keep in mind this is luxury car not a corrola. Midas changed my rears and they started making noise after 2 weeks.
