Some would say STaSIS -> brembo -> stoptech, others would say StaSIS - > stoptech - >bre
Others would say
Porsche > *
Stoptech > *
Brembo > *
MovIt > *
Alcon > *
Stoptech support (other then the poor guy with the rootbeer colored breaks that stoptech didn't step up to fix) has been noted as outstanding.
Monoblock > *
Brembo and most pricing = suxor
Of course I'm still looking for a deal
yes I could get 6 pot cayenne, but then I have pad costs that are up there.
I could do STaSIs but I really want red, but they may happen anyways.
there are others whom are not in our market that could possible be persuaded to build us something

Here you have to make up your own mind. This is what I know so far:
Brembo manufactures their rotors and hats. Their quality control should make these superiors to others. STaSIS brakes at one time used realtively cheap Coleman rotors, not sure what they do now. Brembo is also using a true floating system, while others use theoretically inferior system. (Hard to tell in practice though.)
In short Brembo BBK is Brembo Calipers with Brembo Rotors. Others buy rotor castings and attach their hats to them.
Brembo has 400 engineers. So they should produce a better products. (But we all know that is not always true, though numbers are on their side.)
Brembo by far has most race team use their products. STaSIS brakes are used by one race team. StopTechs are used by few in the US. Again, chances are that Brembo knows little more about brakes.
I promised to review these brakes when I get and install them. I am lining up a current StopTech and current Alcon owners to help me out. You should hear three opinions - one each. I hope that we all remain independent.

I'd say S8 rears, cheap, easy, OEM.
Disclaimer: I do in fact have S8 rear brakes on now and I like them
