Default What brake pads should I use...

So I have R1 concept drilled/slotted rotors, which apparently were glazed over because I used crappy pads (posi quiet). I am being told that I need new rotors in the front - but that i should NOT use the BMW 545 oem pads, rather, I should be using pads specific for (R1) drilled/slotted rotors. anyone know what pads I should look into and have any advice or thoughts on this?

I'm on the same boat, installed my rotors with the old crappy pads and now I get squeaks that I wouldn't wish on my enemies car lol .. there's a guy selling me the OEM rotors brand new for $300, is that a good price?
