Get the best possible pads you can afford. Better quality is definitely better. Also, buy some space rotor screws (8) just in case you strip the existing ones. You will only need to do this if you are swapping rotors though. As someone mentioned prior bungee cords are a good idea too so nothing is hanging from the brake lines alone. You should definitely bleed the brakes too, just in case. It takes very little time for the added assurance. Also remember to break in the pads too. There are steps that the brake manufacturer recommends.
