Looking into brake pad replacement for my Yukon ( 2007 4WD ) Has original brakes still on it ( just 75K miles )

Heard a slight grind noise the 1st time yesterday on braking from the front right side, was slow near stop speed so that is why I heard it so easily.

What is the best reccommended replacement Brake pads both front and rear ( unsure if both front & rear needed or is rotors are needed as well ) Hopefully calipers are fine. I know brakes can go from a $200 job to over a $1000 depending on what needs done to correct.

Looking for best bang for my buck. great pads for a fair price ( and all other reccomendations also - rotors - calipers etc etc ) Don't need any space shuttle rated parts as I drive like an old man ( I am - hahaha )

My spidey sense tells me brake pads are around $50ish front and or rear and rotors are around $85ish ea. Am I still in the know or has the Rona doubled car part prices along with everything else.

getting an inspection / estimate done at a local garage and likely will just buy the parts myself and 'phone a friend' and call in a favor as I know alot of folks that do alot of things. I could do myself, but prefer to have backup and I am the wingman - brother in law helper ( hahaha )

Pic of what I found on Amazon with a 20 sec search ( Amazon top rated or whatever they call it )

thanks in advance to everyone for suggestions, is much appreciated.

I like to get the best pads available at AutoZone...

Why?
Lifetime warranty ;)

Pulling things apart and just feel like swapping them out?
No problem, no questions asked!

Pads got a little oil or something, change em out!

And I usually just have them resurface my rotors if they are not too bad.
Otherwise i'll slap pads on and call it gtg.

Just doing quick checks since my AGM battery at 19 months is failing and under warranty but on national back order…….filled the windshield fluid and noticed the coolant was low. Filled it and found a leak on drivers side 2” crack in tank. Awesome. One trans cooler line leaking, one oil cooler line leaking. Tried to temp seal the rad with the soldering iron, started up the truck and one minute later I see drops flying up from the belts…..water pump is leaking badly…..WTF ?????

Installed the oil catch can that arrived from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07ZCSZR2R?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I had some steel pot scrubbers laying around, so I added that per someone's advice in a different thread.

It went in fine, but I'm not a fan of the flimsy mounting bracket. It's all in there for now, but I feel like I need to drill/tap the lid to add a third mounting screw. It's just a crappy method. Anyways, I hope this helps me ignore my leaking radiator, and put off buying a new one for a bit.

Per Rock Auto there's two there, and I'm not sure which one is for my car. It's got a 6sp with the K5L towing/cooling package.

I am running the same can and I did add another screw. It works good. Mostly water this time if year.

Can you add some context? This is my 1st General Motors Corporation vehicle, and I don't have experience with anything else to compare.
K5L is the top end cooling system that includes 700w fan motors instead of the usual 500w, which makes it better for pulling a heavy trailer in hot weather, etc. Not all towing packages come with the K5L. For example, my 2012 XL Denali has the trailering package so it has the integrated brake controller and both engine oil and transmission fluid coolers, but it doesn't have the K5L package so it didn't come with the 700w fans.
