So what's a good brand or make for a DD car? Are the AutoZone brake pads good enough? If so which one?

Braking systems are sacrificial -- usually, you sacrifice the brake pad in order to preserve the rotor. Lifetime brake pads and shoes reverse this, by being so hard that they are more likely to wear out your rotor/drum than be worn out themselves.
