I had both Wildwood and stoptech when working on my previous sti projects. You can't go wrong with either. I really loved stoptech for cost and easiness of changing pads out.
Pros: good cost, easy pad changes

That is not true. I have been running the StopTech BBK with 355x32 floating rotors (Z4M Coupe, 3275lbs + me) for over 2 years with 25+ track days on them and they have not warped.
Pros: not warped after years
Vehicle:

I have have Stoptechs with their ST-40 calipers on my VRT. These calipers uses the same brake pads as 944 Turbo calipers AFAIK.
I have always followed a similar technique that I found from StopTech but it's cool to see what is happening while doing it. And for anyone doing this, it takes a good long drive to cool down everything before you come to a complete stop. I didn't watch the whole thing but heard the guy touch on it briefly and that is if you have to come to a complete stop do not leave your foot on the brake pedal as you will surely leave a big blotch of pad material in that one spot and then you will get the "warped rotor" feeling as that bit of the rotor will be extra grabby.
Pros: cool to see process
Cons: risk of pad material blotch
When I upgraded my brakes I had to measure them myself and give the information to StopTech so they knew what I had.

Have your brakes been broken in properly? It could be that, I replaced the brakes on Face's car and they had the metal on metal sound for abit till they got fully broken in. The creaky type noise could be your wheel bearing.
Pros: metal on metal sound
Cons: creaky type noise
but i want the brakes though! mmm.. StopTech.
Pros: StopTech brakes
Stoptech all the way. European car magazine has done a couple reviews on these and both have been positive. They are tuned for your car's master cyinder and ABS by altering the piston diameter to meet the needs of your car. Everything is built in house so they have total control of what is going on there and are really quite a work of art. If you've seen a cutaway of the vanes on that rotor you know what I am talking about. They are also two-piece caliper rather than a monbloc which makes them stronger. It's really all in the details with a stoptech kit.
Pros: positive reviews, tuned for car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
If you are doing some serious track use then I would go with Stoptechs. I like the design of the caliper better even though they weigh more, larger pad area, and I believe thicker rotors.
Pros: larger pad area, thicker rotors
Cons: weigh more
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
