Good replacement brake rotors/shoes?

I just turned over 150,000 miles on my original rotors, and my pads are at almost 60,000... so its time for some replacements. My stopping power is noticeably poor due to all my aftermarket stuff... so I want something that will give me some increased braking.

Any good recommendations on what to get aside from just going to Advance Auto and getting "performance" rotors and pads?

Do a drum to disc conversion on the rear axle?
