Default Changing break pads

Okay so I have a 2005.5 A4 2.0T with 58K. I took it to the dealership today for an oil change ($100) and they just gave me a call and said that the brakes are just about done, and that they can replace them with OEM pads for $280. I told them I would just do it myself.

My question is how dificult is it to change the brake pads? what pads do you recomend and from where? should I order them online or just go to an AutoZone and buy some.
