We’ve run oem brembos and few cars but with aftermarket discs, pads, braided hoses and better fluid, it worked a treat. I personally don’t rate Ferodo brake pads due to bad experience, haven’t tried others but heard good feedback on project Mu. I’ve always used Carbotech ( XP8 and XP10 ) and have been more than happy with it. Power wise, it was on Evos ranging from 360bhp up to 500.
Consider spending a bit more on discs too. Whilst the RossSport plain/grooved discs are a great price, they become more consumable with higher coefficient pads and track days. Perhaps consider spending a bit more on something like DBA discs.
Thanks for the responses. I don't want pads which squeal tbh and it seems the ProjectMU's are mostly sold on Japan so not sure if they're worth shipping over with import tax etc. But will still take them into consideration.

Brake fluid is important too, you mentioned some track day use so I would advise using high temp brake fluid and change it at least once a year, even twice to be safe.
Also, braided brake lines, no need to go for hyped up brands as they all use the same hose, the only difference is appearance. Do go for stainless fittings though.
Ferodo I Dsduo pads and for fast road on Alcon front disc setup are very good and no fade so far. I run std rear calipers but hard PF and they work well. The DS 2500 are crap. The dust is easy to was off.
In theory the PFC Z -Rated shouldn't be a patch on the XP10s in terms of stopping power.
Squeal is a characteristic often attributed to Carbotech XP8s, and seemingly to a lesser extent XP10s, but certainly not by everyone, including in my own personal experience. When you say "vibration" I guess you mean "judder", which is almost always because the discs have become contaminated by pad deposits, and normally that's because the pads aren't being worked hard enough. Squeal is actually vibration at a relatively high frequency and my contention is that it's often linked to poor brake maintenance rather than it being an inherent trait of the pad.
