The Z23 pads are cheap; $50-60 per axle.
From a bang-for-the-buck perspective I don't believe there's any way you can beat it. A "big brake" kit is going to cost a lot more than that.
I just had both rears off on my Suburban because I had to pull the axles to fix the differential which decided to chew up the rear pinion bearing race. The pads are maybe 20% worn and over the last couple of years, since I put them on, I moved my house using it and a 7k gross trailer cross-country (FL -> TN) over a half-dozen trips, plus two runs out to Wyoming from here and then one up and back to the northern part of Michigan.
So in addition to being a crazy-good add in terms of stopping power and fade resistance they also are very nice on the wallet in terms of service life. Hard to beat that combination....
