Your Saab is a performance automobile. Sure, you could put Autozone lifetime pads on it. But, that's like running low octane generic gas, using whichever oil is on sale, or mounting the absolute cheapest tires you can find. The car is engineered for some serious driving, and putting bottom of the barrel parts on it, particularly in the braking system is a waste of the money you've already spent on the car.
By the way, I've used the Autozone cheap pads before on a VW, and they are fine for normal driving. When they wore out after 20,000 miles of gentle driving, I took them in and Autozone gave me a new pair. So, apart from the hassle, I guess they worked out fine.
