The big question is, why you wanna upgrade?
Anyone can recommend but does it fit your needs.

Still very vague answer.

IMHO,
Pads alone can answer your needs.
Find something with good cold initial bite, fade resistant and modulation.
Street usage, find street pads.
There's alot of brands, is either you find review of it or test it out yourself.

Steel braided brake hose if you find you need better modulation of brake pedal.

Disc rotor, so what the best?
Slotted > Solid Face > Drilled
Slotted, your pads surface are constantly cleaned but wear faster.
Solid face, max disc strength.
Drilled? Just skip it.

Fluid, upgrade if you are boiling it.
Specialize brake fluid (RBF, Endless & etc) > DOT 5.1 > DOT 4
You want higher boiling point as your brake gets hotter.
