The only thing you really get by going to big brakes is fade resistance. Your stopping is done by your tires. Base and sport brakes both have enough oomph to lock up the tires. For a one time panic stop, I'd bet base and sport stopping distance assuming similar tires is very close. For a daily driver that doesn't see track use, buy sticky tires, good pads and fluid and call it a day. Maybe lines for feel if you want to. The need for bigger brakes come with repeated high speed stops. Whether you've got sport or base brakes, you shouldn't be driving on the street hard enough to get brake fade.
The sport brakes do look a hell of a lot better though.
