My dealer "strongly" recommends front and rear brake pad set change along
with machining the rotors. He says put together it will cost about
$600($291 for front and rest for rear).

I am planning to get it done from the local shop, but I am planning to buy
the parts from hyundai dealership. What all should I be buying ??

How many miles do you have on the car?
 
Purchase a pad kit for the front and a pad or shoe kit for the rear,
depending on whether you have rear drum or disc. I'd recommend against
resurfacing unless there's an issue with the discs/drums (i.e. rust,
runout causing vibration).

Personally I'd recommend buying the parts somewhere else other than
the dealership. You'll almost certainly get a better price for the
same quality parts.
 
You can purchase many good brake parts outside the dealer, but they won't
be the genuine Hyundai product. Well-known and respected products include
Allied Signal/Bendix, NAPA, Raybestos, and Wagner. The aftermarket brakes
may also be of different composition, and possibly cause a different feel
than the Hyundai brakes.
 
Personally, If I got almost 50K miles out of the OEM pad's I would go
OEM. You can't get much better. If I remember right I think the OEM
are Ceramic.

My son has 80K miles on his 2000 Hyundai Accent and we've yet to need to
change the front pads. The car was purchased used with 26K on it so I'm not
sure if they're the original pads, but still..
