You get what you pay for. I wouldn't necessarily go with Chrysler though the dealer's job is to overcharge you and make their $. I'd go with another brand and get a higher quality material you get what you pay for with brakes.
Also pay attention to the material. Harder pads will last longer but they'll put more wear on your rotors. Softer pads won't last as long but your rotors are less likely to warp or wear down.
Also if you've never done brakes yourself I recommend you try it. It's one of those things that's so easy you'll kick yourself for not doing them yourself earlier and saving yourself a lot of money.

I work on all my vehicles, when I called the part dep at the dealer they wanted almost $300 for front and rear pads. That price is high for brakes, especially when I will be changing them alot with bigger tires.
