As everything is 50% off on europarts I want to buy some disc brakes, there are two different brands though and I don't know which one to get? 

 

It's either these

Or these

I don't see anything wrong with the eurocarparts own brand, but it's up to you whether you want to pay a bit more for a known name or not.

I found pagid rust protection on the non-friction areas better.

I don't mind either one because I don't know which brand is "better", long as the eurocarparts own are the same (ish) then I don't mind

PAGID stuff is very good, especially their competition brake pads, so one might think their discs would be very good as well.

I have Pagid discs and pads on my Passat Estate. Very good bits of kit.

Disks are often considered throw away now with every pad change or every second pad change so it doesn't really matter too much so long as they are nice and round :-)
