I use the stock S13 brakes with good pads and good fluid with no problems so far. Have yet to experience any brake fade.
It really depends on how you drive. Some people swear by the 300zx upgrade, some can live without it. I personally don't think I could live with the mushy pedal and would want to upgrade the MC while I'm at it, which adds to the cost and complexity of the swap.
