Done tones of brakes on cars in the past. Just never on a Saab. Want to know what to expect of there is anything special on these cars?

What is the shop hours for changing each caliper, rotor and pads? I will do the math on labor hours depending on what needs to be done. Recomended pads for these cars?

Nothing special but you are on the wrong board. This is the 9000 board. Neverthe less the 900 and 9000 have the same caliper setup. At least the later C900's do. The NG900 most probably are the same too.

Nothing special to us but not everyone knows the SAAB rear caliper needs to back out the screw to remove the brake pads. If the mechanic has never work on this before he may brute force it to damage the caliper.

I think I can replace each caliper in 30 minutes safely. The shop may charge more to go over more carefully but that's my guess.
