Brembo or AP Racing?

My rotors keep warping. About every two or three months I have to resurface or replace my rotors. I currently have Brembo rotors and they are no different than the stock rotors when it comes to warping. EBC green stuff resides in the front, metal matrix in the rear. I think that it may be time to upgrade to a big brake system. Who should I go with? AP Racing or Brembo? I hear that the AP racing calipers need to be rebuilt more often than the Brembos and that the Brembos are better for the street. Help!

Wilwood caliper is also another option. PrecisionBrakes.com offers a maxima kit for about $1100-1200.

If you've got the money to burn, go for Brembo.
