Brake pad replacements Ceramic or Semi-Metalic for 03 F-150. I tow about 5 - 6 times a year

Hello,

I need new brakes (rotors and pads all four wheels) for my 03 F-150 and I know Scotty recommends Akebono brake pads which are ceramic which I put on my Highlander. My questions are I tow a travel trailer and sometimes my small 6 x 10 enclosed cargo trailer several times a year I found out that ceramic brakes increase stopping distance and people on the internet (you have to believe everything you hear on the internet right lol) have said that you should use semi-metallic for towing as they also have a higher heat tolerance, and don't increase the stopping distance, but don't last as long.

My brakes did overheat in July 2021 while towing and driving down a steep mountain in Oregon which was a very long downhill and I would like to buy brakes that don't overheat as well as I don't want to increase my stopping distance although I do have a good proportional brake controller.

Second part of the question is should I buy new rotors that were made by ford or someone else?

Thanks,

Lyle
