Spoon monoblock calipers are PHENOMENAL.
I can't believe the stopping power it generates, even with stock pads and rotors...on the track! However, they're pretty expensive compared to all the other products.
Otherwise, I would choose Stoptech. I've been told(by a very good source) that they have paid special attention to the S2000 model, and plus they retain Carroll Smith as a consultant. Can't go wrong with that

Question: What components are brake fade associated with? I thought it dealt mainly with the pads?

BRAKE FADE
....There are three possbible types of fade: "Green Fade", "Pad Fade" and "Fluid Fade".
Green Fade occurs due to non-existent or inadequate pad bedding and sees the car heading for the boondocks without warning, the pedal remaining high and firm - pumping does not help. Pad Fade is similar to in feel and result. It occurs when the temperature generated by the brakes exceeds the upper temperature limit of the pad material.
Uncommon in racing, Pad Fad can easily be generated in a road car. The inexperienced driver is well advised to deliberately fade the pads in road car so that he will know what it feels like and not confuse it with Fluid Fade. Don not do this on the public road - or anywhere you could get hurt!
Fluid Fade occurs when heat passed from the caliper causes the fluid to reach boiling point. Tiny bubbles of compressible gas form in and are diffused through the previously incompressible fluid - and the pedal goes to the floor. Frantic pumping of both the pedal and the driver's heart ensue....
