Brake caliper Brembo or POWER STOP

Here's my 03 Jetta TDI. I used 986 generation non-S Porsche Boxster Brembo 4 pot calipers front and rear with OEM Brembo pads and hardware. I went with these over the 17Z/18Z big 6 pots so I wouldn't have to install a different master cylinder as the factory one doesn't move enough fluid to actuate those big brakes effectively.
Pros: effective braking, fluid actuation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

I have 2006 porsche cayenne turbo calipers on my r32 skyline. It's a simple bracket that allows you to use 370z track rotors. The calipers are 6 piston brembo units. They were 100 CAD each at a specialty wreckers.
Pros: inexpensive, 6 piston

I'm running the '14 STI front/rear Brembo calipers with DBA slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines. And Motul 5.1 fluid. I can pretty much out brake everyone in to the turns at the track or touge.
Also have Porsche 997 GT3 brake cooling ducts installed (yes they fit). I have zero heat/fading issues. The brakes can do hot laps for a full 20mins track session with no performance lost.
Pros: superior braking, no heat issues

I bought some Power Stop DE calipers/rotors at a good price from rock auto, unfortunately they powder coat them red before they rebuild them. I knew this before buying them so today I prepped and painted them black to match the rears.
Pros: good price
Cons: powder coat them red
I have an 04 W8, ill say this. Get a BBK from Brembo or someone. The front calipers are way to wide and large for what they would do for a smaller car vs the cost to make them work.
Cons: calipers too wide and large
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Recently i had a 5 month old powerstop caliper leak and my brake pedal hit the floor. No warranty outside 90 days plus there was no availability for ordering another set!
Cons: caliper leak, no warranty
I do not think the calipers are anything special. Just powder coated. I had issues with them (seizing) and replaced with refurbed oem Chrysler. Running the powerstop rotors with EBC Green pads. I would just upgrade pads instead of rotors and calipers If could do it over again.
Cons: seizing issues
