I'll pipe in from low budget land
It only cost me about $140 to completely rebuild my stock brakes with Auto Zone parts, only my bearings and hoses are stock.  The calipers were so cheap $20 each it was a no-brainer.  Of course my pulling problem was due to a bad pass side ball joint, but I do like the peace of mind with all new front brakes ( I also did the rears over with new springs and drums too)
Car stops good enough for me, and no problems over 15k miles
