brake parts upgrades/swap sugestions

okay planning on doing the five lug swap soon (within a month or two) but need sugestions on parts. I want too keep the NA trans for now (not enough $) so im thinkinng the asemblys would come from a GXL? then would like too swap in some slotted rotors (sugestions experiances what too use what too stay away from?). for brake pads was thinking of Hawk HP's anybody have any experiance with these or know who sells them for a decent price also since im swapping in brakes figured that stainless steel braided lines would be a good idea. i also heard that the pistons in the four caliper brakes somtimes get stuck? and that i would need a break rebuild kit for each caliper? is this true and if so who sells them? also believe the master cylinder and resivoirs are diferent correct? should i go ahead and upgrade the master cylinder or just get a stock replacement? okay umm thats all i could think of is there any other parts that should be considerd? i want too get the best performance out of brakes for a reesonable price (but not cutting any corners) this car will eventually be a stripped out daily driven fairly stiff suspension 6pt roll cage track car hitting hopefully 230 hp with a street ported atkins supercharged engine just too give u an idea of what i want major brakes for. since they should probaly come first. also the wheels for now when the swap is goin too be done will 16 by 7 at all four corners (16 by 9 up front wit 16 by 10 in the back when the engine is done might need some flares lol)
