Hey Shad,
Sandeep offers the best advice for an top notch brake system, but I think you would be fine with a single pot early setup. If you need more later you are really not at a loss because you can upgrade quite easily later.
The trick to the early "basic" brakes is SS lines, good fluid, and most importantly use EBS Green pads or Hawk units. I know Tire Rack has them at a reasonable price which is probably lower than the Porsche exclusive places..? The EBS Green pads rock!
If you are tracking the car I would setup to the 4 pot brakes, but for street/auto-x I think the basic system will be fine.
As for the front the early 944/911 hubs can be machined to fit almost anything. Check out the tech article here or in the Keith Sueme book. I think 911 dual piston calipers could be used here as well. The 911 ealry 944 front rotors are the same. Never tried it myself though.
Even if you go full 944 early there are numerous easy bolt on big Brembo kits available, but pricey.
Good Luck,
