I've been running Wagner Brake pads for a couple of months now, probably ~3K miles. So far, they have performed very well. The EX stops when I want it to
I have used a variety of different pads over the years but some of mine have wore out prematurely due to the slider pins seizing up. For the fronts I know some people have had great luck with EBC pads.

Yup, I've been running Wagner on everything I own for years. Very low dust and great stopping power, even when hot.

My 69 Mustang was hardly stopping with my new slotted rotors and semi-metallic pads from SSBC. I put a set of EBC Yellow Stuff on the front and now it stops. Hawkperformance might be as good, but I only wanted to do this once and get it right. Not that I'd use the Yellow on my EX, but they do seem to bite much better on my Stang.
Does anyone have any advice on good calipers for all round?
I would go Motorcraft on calipers. That's what I just put on. They're supposed to be pretty good and my set of Napa premium calipers lasted three years before they froze up.
While you're at it, you may as well add a set of Russell stainless steel brake lines. They much improved pedal feel on my Excursion - of course, this was over the original, 18 year-old hoses.
Here's the link for the set that fix the Excursion:

Had that done just two weeks ago when my rear brake line failed me.
Frozen Rotors are quoting me on a full set of their calipers (they only have fronts listed on their website). They are expensive, but they are not rebuilds and I figure if I'm putting in their pricey rotors, I may as well go all out.

as far as I know rayspestos is the only company making new calipers and as of now they only make the rears, About $75 on rockauto
