VAG tend to fit Ate (Part of the Continental Tyres group) I can also recommend Juratek, Mintex, Pagid and Brembo, I've used them all.
Juratek brakes are made in England to very high standard. Properly fitted and maintained brakes should not warp. Brakes generate high temperatures so running through water cools the disc too quickly and can lead to warping.
Last set I bought were Juratek front discs and pads (VW Polo 6R). Ran them for 2 years and when I sold the car there was still plenty of life left.
Another reason for not sitting stopped with the brakes on is you may cause dazzle to the driver behind, especially in rain or at night. It could also make your indicator difficult to see. Do not sit with the foot brake on, use the hand brake when stationary, or for very short periods, hold it on the clutch.
