Gen5 Best deal on brakes?

Recently, I had my tires rotated at one of the tire shop nearby and while they were doing the rotation they found that my front brakes are bad. They suggestted to replace it before they cost damage to the rotors. The price was $150 for both front brakes. Do you think this is a good price? That's like 100 bucks for labor. 50 for parts. Anyway, it was late, i didn't replace them. Can you guys give some feedbacks on what brand of brake i should buy or semi 0r complete cerammic. thanks

I have Raybestos full ceramics on both of my Camrys. No problems and very little brake dust. I would recommend these pads for a Camry that is used as an everyday driver.
