Default Brakes?!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and so far I love all the info you can find around it. In fact I don't even have an XJ yet and I'm getting my first one this weekend. (I've already bought new headlights for it) Yeah I already love a car I dont have haha. WELL my big question is about the brakes. I really wanted to get an honest opinion for what the best brakes and rotors or w.e. are best? I will be doing a lot of road driving and defiantly some good off roading so consider me a 50/50 guy. Thanks!!!

(Also trying to find some good all terrain tires if you have any input)
(Don't have a lift yet but I can ignore any rubbing for the little while)
