I don't really understand the absolute need for new brakes. I mean lets be honest, regardless of what mods you're going to be buying, it shouldn't be changing your driving habits. If you're going excessively fast in a place you really shouldn't be, you're just asking for it to begin with. If you're turning it into an actual track car, that's different, but I'm just saying that upgrading your brakes obviously won't do much harm but it isn't like you need to.

P.S. Remove it, and dye it.

On topic: the pads you chose will probably make the biggest effect on your stopping power. Drilled/slotted rotors aren't going to stop you any faster, and chances are you won't be pushing them hard enough to need their benefits.
I'd say if your rotors are in good shape now, try switching to a more agressive pad first and see what you think. Then if you're still wanting more, consider the f-body calipers or GXP upgrade.
