Default Brake help needed (First time poster)

I have a 2004.5 (basically 2005) S40 T5 FWD and needing new brake rotors and pads. I am not a performance driver so I don't think I need slotted, dimpled or drilled rotors. I want something different though than the stock Volvo rotors as I really don't think they were that great. Can someone tell me a decent aftermarket brand (EBC?) along with diameter the front and rear. I see many different sizes available.

Thanks for the help!!!!!

For normal street use, Zimmerman rotors come highly recommended and Hawk HPS pads. I have this combination on the rear and will do the same to the front when the time comes.

The OEM Volvo pads are actually very good performing. The only down-side is they are very dusty.
