Ceramic get good reviews. You might do a bed in procedure if you want to go that far

I put Autozone (Duralast?) ceramics on my Magnum without doing a thing (to include resurfacing/replacing rotors). They were quiet with zero dust. No shimmy. No shake. Just smooth braking. I can't say that the techniques in the above article won't buy you a couple feet (I can't say that it will either), but I do my best to not come that close to hitting stuff/people.

Save your rotors and put organic or semi metallic pads on.

I drive the vehicle up a long hill(1/2 mile) and make sure I have good brake petal on the way up. Then I turn around and make at least 3 hard stops from 40 mph down to about 5mph hard and do it 3 times and the shoes and pads are bedded. IMO

I used Performance Friction Carbon Metallic on my diesel with good results and will probably use them on my new Ram when it needs brakes.
