Just use a brand you trust. The Magnussen-Moss Warranty act says that as long as the parts meet the OE specifications there is no effect on the warranty for the caliper and braking system.

Never use Subaru parts for brake replacements. There are lots of better or cheaper parts out there.
 
I'm sure the ones that monroe used will be acceptable, especially for the rears.

I buy my pads from Pep Boys and they last me a couple of years and 30K + miles.

#111 of 113 New brake pad noise by elkmik1

I just put new brake pads on the rear of my 07 Forester. I did not do anything to the rotors. When the brakes have warmed up they make a low squealing noise when the brakes are initially applied or when "feathered" Is this part of the normal break in? If not does anybody have an idea of what I may have done wrong?

did you add an anti-squeal compound to the backs of the pads where they contact the pistons? If not, that may be what's causing your noise.
