Default Need new Rear brakes - upgrades?

I haven't taken a look at my brakes yet but I can hear the rotors just squealing away and my guess is I'll need to do a brake job ASAP.

Before I go ahead and check it all out and order parts, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any upgraded rear brakes or if anyone has opinions on them.

Something worth spending money on?

I'm running 35s right now, with intentions of running 37s eventually.

I did stainless brake lines and Hawk pads and am really happy with the setup. I only have 33" tires, but it seems to work well for me.

When upgrading the front with Teraflex Bb kit, I did Powerslot rotors with Evolution pads in the rear. They hold up very well and bite great.

Brake Performance Rotors. Brake Rotors Brake Discs Drilled Slotted Rotors

I have run their stuff on a lot of my rigs and have not had any problems. Every once in a while they go on sale too. Im going to put the drilled/slotted rotors on the jk as soon as the stockers wear out.
