How do our stock brakes compare?

Just curious how our stock brakes on the 05 SS's compare to some of the aftermarket ones out there. I'm already noticing some nasty grooves on them after 18000 miles. I was wondering if this is due to my driving habits or just the stock brakes arent that great.

any input?
