C5 Zs don't have special brakes. They're all the same. That being said I dig black over red or any other color. Looks great.

I thought there was some discussion about "cast" vs "gravity formed" or something between base and Z06 calipers. Also Z06 calipers having additional strengthening ribs on the back?

Looks good! The only difference between C5 base and C5 Z brake calipers is that the Z has red powder coating. These look great, but they're not Z specific.

As stated above, the only difference on a Z06 caliper is the red powder coating. Otherwise exactly the same caliper as the coupe/vert.
Those calipers look very good and will be a sharp addition to the car.
