Default Rear Pads And Rotors

Anyone have any suggestions for rear pads and rotors. I just changed out the front pads and rotors (Akebono ceramics w/ EBC Sport rotors), and now it's time for the back....I'm just starting to get this truck dialed in to where I want it!

I've read differing opinions on ceramic pads, vented/slotted/dimpled/drilled rotors....THERE'S TOO MANY CHOICES!!!! thanks guys

Why not go with the same combo? I take it you are happy with the front?
I did akebono pads with plain rotors (not drilled slotted dimpled studded blinged) with stock tires and the brakes work very well.

Default Same Set Up

Well....mainly bc the front set up was freakin expensive!! I was hoping to maybe cut the cost some without cutting the quality. But in the end I may suck it up and just go with the same setup. Just curious as to what setup everyone else is using

Stick away from anything drilled or slotted unless you are spending big money on a professional set. They lose structural rigidity and offer no real advantages. I have the Akebono and they do a good job. Brake dust is high and they are a bit noisy, but good initial bite.
