Question Best budget vw disk brake set up?

I'm currently in the process of building a "Germanlook" Ghia and it's come time to look into my brake options. I realized the hard way that I can't afford to use an early 944 porsche brake set. So, a vw based set up is what I'm thinking about now.

My question is; Who makes the best disk for vw based disk brakes? I heard that the redrilled stock disk are not as strong because they are drilled at weak points in the disk. Also, is it a good idea to go ahead and vented disk? If I can? Should I get press-in studs with the disk? I know of most of the companies out there, but I am needing some personal experiance with these companies/products. ie. cb perfomance, aircooled.net...

*They will need to be drilled to the Porsche pattern. (5x130) I'm asking about disk right now, but kit suggestions are welcome also. I tried looking though old theads in the forum, but I didn't find the answers I was needing. That's all I can think about right now. Thank you.
