OEM Brake Manufacturers? 850 1995

I'm planning on replacing my front rotors and pads. Everyone tells me to use OEM. www.alloemautoparts.com has very good prices. They list 3 OEM manufacturers for the rotors. Zimmerman, Balo, and Brembo. Were all three suppliers? So, buying the less expensive of the three is buying the same quality as what came on my car?

Also, I understand the conventional wisdom is you get about 2 sets of pads before need to replace the front brake rotors. Does that hold true for the rear as well?

Thanks.
