AFAIK you should have 294mm fronts and 266mm rears, all vented.
For aftermarket, go for grooved only as cross drilled can crack.
Remember its mainly down to the quality of your pads.
Also consider stainless steel brakelines, decent fluid and possibly a brake support bracket to prevent bulkhead flex.

just to drive the point stated above home I have to agree about the rotors. I've seen cross-drilled rotors crack on daily drivers, not to mention weekend warriors. It all depends on what you're doing with your car, most of the time a good vented plain rotor like a brembo will be all you need, with some good pads of course. And there's a huge difference in brake feel and response with braided lines. oh and the cheapest/best way to improve brakes is bleed them thoroughly
