Noisy pads were probably down to contamination just before going into storage. Maybe rust forming on the discs. Clean, dry discs and pads can sit happily for 6 months without issues. Calliper pistons can sieze up though if left unused for a long time.
I've never had any experience with SRAM, but I feel from what I read here frequently that I must have the most trouble free Shimano hydraulic brakes on the planet. Hydraulic brakes are not that difficult to use and service.
