First of all, when you type in all caps, it comes off as yelling
Secondly, go to the auto parts store to buy your Belden wires.
Denso'* would be a big waste of money for no performance increase. Buy AC Delco plugs or NGK. Both are made by NGK.
RSM sells good slotted rotors, and they work well with Ceramic pads. I run that combination.
I'm moving your post to the Performance and Brainstorming section.

I have used both the Belden MAX Premium wires (in 4 cars and with no problems -I am very happy for the few $$ I spent on them) and I have also run Raybestos Ceramic pads on my old 1998 Bonneville SSE. I was VERY happy with them because I had the factory chrome rims and did not want to be cleaning the rims all the time. Then to top not having to clean my rims every other day I had excellent braking, with no fade after repeated heavy braking.
Be aware though, that a good high performance rotor should be used in conjuntion with the ceramics or you will be dealing with warped/cracked rotors within 5-10K miles.

Most auto parts stores sell the Belden'*, so you don't need to pay for shipping
Either of the two plugs you mentioned would be great. I prefer the TR55 personally. (I run the TR6 in the summer, TR55 in the winter, but you don't have to worry about that).
Do NOT run cross-drilled rotors. They're a bad idea for a street application, and it'* really nothing more than a cosmetic thing that can bite you in the arse later, unless you run your car ONLY at the track, and replace the rotors regularly. Get slotted ONLY.
http://www.rsmracing.com/catalog.htm has the slotted rotors I run for $80 each, but keep in mind that'* CANADIAN currency. US should be cheaper. Not sure how they work that.
Powerslot rotors would be good, too.

Everyday driving will probably be fine with them, and drivers who don't ride the brakes hard around town.
