Question replacing brakes- Upgrade???

It is about time to to go though the brakes on my truck. The rears have never been touched and the fronts had an over all a couple years ago from a seized caliper. The stock four wheel disks have been great, great stopping power and generally reliable but if I am putting on new rotors and pads I would rather put the money into something better if possible.

Any suggestions??

Experience with :

Stillen?
EGR?
Anything else out there??
Anyone make blue printed calipers, the stocks do have a tendency to bind.

Thanks,
Ted
