depends on your style of riding.
race style = more breaking power = more wear on the rotor.
lots of braking = more heat => ceramic pads
etc etc

standard street use.. no racing really.. I like using my rear break to slow down.. then apply the front for the complete stop.

original are more than good enough.
look around for sintered pads.
