M-sport or EBC?

After 43k, my brakes are just about gone I believe, not so much the pads, but the rotors are horribly warped. My car is a '14 328d, i don't track the car at all, it's just a highway car for me. Would it be worth the money to upgrade to the m-sport brakes, or get the EBC slotted kit with the green stuff pads?

Msport will obviously perform better with the larger calipers, but I have a friend who has the exact EBC kit with green pads. We just installed them a couple of months ago, and they're pretty awesome for a direct replacement to the existing brakes.

We both noticed a difference in braking power, but it's not much greater than OEM since we still used the stock caliper. After seeing EBC's quality though, I highly recommend them!
