Default Breaks?

I should have put this in my last post. As for breake upgrades what is the better option and biggest bang for the buck. Would you upgrade the rotors and pads but leave the stock calipers or upgrade pads, calipers, and rotors? What are the best parts for each option? Thoughts?

Like a hand fits in a glove....... replace all the above. Me things many parts are engineered (same supplier) to work best together. Buy it all and you won't have any doubts. PS don't worry about the perfect spellers...... we all have a typo dy evey onuce in twile.
