Cheapest? Autozone (it's both a website and a store!) has dirt cheap brake pads under the Valucraft brand label. You could get front and rear pads for like, 33 bucks plus some tax. I've used them on my 240sx. They work okay for normal driving. You can even put them on your rutted, old rotors and you'll still be able to stop. They just won't last very long (compared to using smooth rotors). I was down to the metal on mine, so I bought these cheap pads and just slapped then on the car. My rotors were very grooved and that ate into the pads pretty quick. They were fine around town and on the freeway, they weren't so great on mountain roads and driving aggressively. You should get the rotors replaced or at least turned and you'll be better off than I was. Compare prices, new rotors aren't much more than turned rotors. Plus you don't have the down time of taking them off, going to the shop, having them turned, picking them up and then installing them.
Anyway, these are the cheapest and they work. They are not what I'd call the best, so maybe I misunderstand your request.
