Not sure I ever used the brakes on my SV. The engine braking was so good.

----edit, of course I actually did. I'd say fit the best you can afford up front and don't skimp on braking. I wouldn't worry about getting amazing braking on the rear as it's more likely to lead to a wheel lock up if too good. Same goes for pads. HH sintered up front. Less grabby organic in the rear for slow maneuvering.
