What brake upgrades will be best?

Short of going to the 930 set-up ($$$), what can be the optimum upgrade for my project 911T that has the following specs?
- 2.8 MFI race engine; approx. 272 HP
- using 15" 7 & 8 Fuchs: on R-rated 205/225's
- FG front fenders, bumpers, hood, trunk
- rear seat delete; FG 964 RS seats
- no AC, and its related paraphernalia

The car has currently the stock "M" brakes, front and rear... and I'm afraid that these will not be adequate for the new engine that will be installed shortly.

I plan to run this car for vintage/classic racing in my part of the world.

I've read about the myriad of brake upgrade options for early 911's... and they are indeed MANY.
'84-'89 Carrera calipers/rotors...Boxster kits...944T calipers/rotors... SC rears... Willwoods...BMW 3-series calipers/rotors...
Frankly, I'm beginning to get dizzy with all of these possible upgrades!!...

Any, and all inputs, most especially from those "who have been this slippery road", will be immensely helpful.
I'm hoping that our "learned gurus" in this forum can show me the most "cost-efficient" way of achieving this upgrade.

Thanks in advance!
