I fitted Greenstuff pads and EBC slotted and spotted discs to an MX-5 years ago and they were ok, but the slotted discs do make a chopping sound as you drive past walls or houses.

Greenstuff pads, whether on cars, motorbikes or bicycles, acquired a bit of a bad reputation for the friction material separating from the backplate.  I don't know to what extent this problem was truly fixed.

Personally, I'd use standard Pagid or Mintex stuff on a Jimny.

EBC green pads and disks here also, well worth the extra money in my opinion. I could feel the extra "bite" and Lambert has seen confirmation on the brake tester. I had Pagid prior to these and they scored up and started to pulse way before they had worn down. The EBC disks are visibly less scored when used in conjunction with EBC pads.
​​​​​​Been on for several thousand now and not scoring up (or falling apart). Also considerably less brake dust on the wheels. I've only ever fitted EBC to my motorcycles and they get pushed a lot harder than the Jimny, wouldn't fit anything else.

Just my luck the 108mm diameter EBC brake discs are out of stock in the main places. I will have to either hunt around or wait.

The kit I need is PD01KF1410, seems it is out of stock at most places until next week.

One or two retailers are saying they have it, but they don't say it is available next day which I take to mean they will take the order and then not ship. I am going to wait until it is in stock somewhere, then buy it.
