Are powerstop pads and rotors any good?

I've come to the conclusion that my rotor(s) have what must be thickness variations. I have no ideal how. I have not really done a brake job on any of my last superdutys before 100k. Anyways at 31k I'm out of brake warranty and might try an aftermarket rotor. This brand keeps popping up. The super duty brakes have been so good I have never dipped into the aftermarket brake equipment. Powerstop seems good. Any other favorites to look at?

I put Powerstops on my 2008 Tundra about a year ago, as I bought a travel trailer and wanted better stopping power. Honestly, I was not impressed given the price. I really didn't think there was any better stopping power. In addition, the pads ran about 2mm over the edge of the rotors.

Granted, I am not talking about a SuperDuty, but I thought the Toyota stock breaks were better.

If you are in the snow, salt & brine belt it won’t matter. They’ll rust away the same as any others.

I bought the pads only, no rotors, just for the less dust I have yet to install them. Now I am thinking if I should have bought the matching rotors.

I just put the powerstop pads on my 17’ 250 ccsb 6.2.15,000miles on truck.
I installed two days ago, followed the powerstop brake in process. definitely feel a stoping difference but the Main reason I purchased was to combat the extreme amount of brake dust. So far it seems like less dust.
