Likely pads and rotors.

My vote goes to rotors also. It's the only one related to braking among the three areas you mentioned. Had that feeling with another vehicle of mine - warped rotors.

Engine mounts and axle issues wouldn't come up as braking symptoms. Just my take.

i am also with a mind that it is a rotor causing the trouble out of your vehicle .. you must go for the specifications to get it right

If it were axle shafts, you'd have vibration whenever you're moving at speed, not just when you're braking. If it were engine mounts, it would be more related to throttle action than to braking. (I think engine mounts more typically caus a single clunking sound as you transition from accelerating to coasting or back and the engine rocks one way or the other, rather than a more extended vibration; however, there there may be other symptoms I'm quite ignorant of.)
