Brakes questions - also, Zimmerman anyone?

I am about to change out rear rotors and go - of course - with akebono's because they have been so incredible on the front. The Zimmermans are available easily to me and come solid.
Question 1: Has anyone any experiences with that brand?
Question 2: Is solid, OK as opposed to vented or drilled etc? I am not out for extra performance. Just how she came will be fine.
Qyestion 3: Now, I know that the rear pads are way down but when I start in the mornings, I reverse out and go down a steep driveway. The pedal gets HARD sometimes (It has not done so before). It goes away after a few yards on the flat and a couple of pumps........??? No fluid leaks or such.
Is that likely to be pads being low or do I have an ABS issue or such?
Any ideas are appreciated.
