My truck ('03 3500 crew cab dooley) has the best PowerStop stuff. No warping, and stops like a power assisted brick wall.
A buddy at work installed the same setup on his '06 like mine, and has been towing a huge (sleeps 8, and carries 4 motorcycles) toy hauler travel trailer, and his experience is the same as mine, the stuff works great.
We'll be getting a new trailer to go behind my truck this spring, and doing more towing. This rig will be about the maximum you should tow with a light (under 2-1/2 ton) truck. I'm not one of those guys who sees these new truck commercials and thinks towing 25,000 pounds of trailer and cargo with a 7,500 pound light truck is a good idea. I've got 19.5" wheels and top drawer medium truck tires on them and I still won't do that.

I just ordered the Powerstop "kit", pads and rotors for all four wheels. Less expensive than the NAPA Ultra Premium.

Only got maybe 100 miles on these, but first impression is very good. These brakes provide the best feel I can remember of any. Hope the rotors hold up.
