I would agree. Genuine isn't necessarily 'best' but it is certainly a safe choice. When Volvo, or any manufacturer, specs out parts they have to consider performance, longevity, cost, etc etc. Lots goes into it, and obviously Volvo isn't one to skimp on safety-related equipment, but that doesn't mean there aren't better things out there. I'd wager that the Brembo discs/EBC Yellowstuff pads combo I mentioned previously would out-perform the genuine Volvo stuff, but the longevity wouldn't be as good.
I'm sure your Brembo discs and Bendix pads will be absolutely fine.
