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

Braking is sure, thanks to large four-piston calipers all around, though the pedal effort is not as progressive as I'd like.
Pros: sure braking
Cons: pedal effort not progressive

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

I had this problem with my 90 GLI. It was the parking brake mechanism on the caliper of the right rear wheel. It had seized, not allowing the caliper to release when I released the parking brake lever. I had to replace the caliper.
Pros: prevent rotor damage
Cons: caliper seized

I used the ECS-Tuning kit for the rear disc upgrade. $395 and it comes with everything you need. Nice kit and pretty painless to install if your mechanically inclined. I also upgraded the fronts to 11\" Corrado rotors and Wilwood Dynalite 4-pot calipers. The stopping power is absolutely AMAZING!!
Pros: stopping power amazing
