So I'm most likely going to pick these brackets up within the next few weeks.
After reading the thread, there are a few options for balancing the whole system out. What, in your guys opinion is the easiest/bolt on way to balance everything out? 1.8L rears + proportion valve? MSM rear? What has been the easiest set up to make work without fiddling and making a million adjustments?
And just to clarify again, the calipers we need are the .81 thickness? 120-6806?

I used the Wilwood valve due to ease of install, I've never played with the Tilton valve so I wouldn't have any setup advice for you. I thought it might be nice for playing with the bias on-track, but for me the Wilwood valve seems to be a lot more set-and-forget than I expected it to be.

You will get MUCH better bias by increasing the rear brake torque first, THEN add an adjustable prop valve if you feel it can still be improved. The main advantage is that bias will be closer to correct at a single setting of the adj prop valve, over different surfaces.
The use of the 94~97 1.8 rear rotors with the larger-pistoned 01+ "factory big brakes" rear calipers is a damn near perfect match to an 11" front kit with 2 x 1.38" pistons.
They are $80+ per side at Rockauto. Cheaper and lighter than going to a Goodwin rear BBK or the factory rear big brake rotors + adapters.

The calipers are that much? ($80)?
125 each, but that is chump change in the world of real brakes
Are they a bolt on affair without adapters and match the 94-97 rotor?
I assume your talking about the rear brakes? For the rear, M-tuned offers a bracket that allows 94+ non sport owners a way to run larger sport rotors.
Who knew you could get a full on big brake kit for so little! I'm starting to like this more and more.
That is why I went down this road, and I'm sure many more will also
