To minimize warping the rotors make sure you have a torque wrench and torque all the wheel lug nuts to the correct spec. For an 850 that is 86 ft.lb.
ALSO, never drive with your foot on the brake pedal, or ride the brakes coming down a hill. Volvo's prefer shorter quicker stops to longer slower gradual ones.

For brake pads what kind of driving do you do? City driver in the flats...use stock pads or the PBR deluxe pads. If you are a "spirited driver" and really use your brakes, or if you live in a hilly region which puts lots of stress on your brakes then go with PBR metal pads or some other semi-metallic.

That's my 2 cents anyway.
