Brake/Rotor Recommendation

Brake/Rotor Recommendation
Hi All,
New to the forum, excited to learn and discuss some new things!
I own a 2010 F150 with the 5.4L engine.
Currently have 110,000 miles and am needing to replace the brakes/rotors. I’ve researched quite a bit (probably too much) and I believe I am narrowing it down to between the Motorcraft or Power Stop brands.
Some background for my current situation:
-I do not tow very often and when I do it’s a boat or 6x12 trailer.
-I hunt quite a bit so will see muddy beat up roads.
-I live in the far north so will see plenty of salt/brine roads with extreme temp swings.
-Live in town so mostly road miles.
-Plan on having the truck at least 5 more years, so dependability and longevity is most important.
Having said that, what is the general consensus for brand for brakes and rotors? Motorcraft is OEM but they want more money for those than the Power Stops. Would I run into issues with snow ice and mud with slotted/drilled rotors? Am I missing out on something else? Also looked at O'reilly's brand but those again are close to the same price as the Power Stops. Thanks for the suggestions and insights!
