Yea mate, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors out there about the benefits of doing X,Y,Z but in reality that's vendors trying to get your $'s off you.
Things like Ceramic brake pads are great and will stop you much quicker and with less fade PROVIDED you can keep them at the appropriate operating temperate. (IE you see V8 Supercars with glowing rotors)
Another thing you will need to consider and i dont have enough technical knowledge in this area is how this may impact ABS... i've seen some very indepth discussion as to the impact BBK may have on ABS systems as some are saying that the ABS is calibrated so it knows the diameter/brakeforce of the hardware stopping the car.
How much of this is fact vs opinion i dont know, but i would be investigating heavily before i fiddled with the things that stopped me ploughing into things.
My 2C if you're only doing it for looks, go with slotted/drilled rotors and paint your calipers whichever colour you want.
Much cheaper and looks the goods.
