I just put the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS on my Alltrack (225/45/18) and I really like them.

I went the other way - I've had scary brake fade a number of times on VW/Audis on the track in the past, and I wanted the "once and done" option when I picked up my Golf R earlier this year. So, worked with Achtuning to install a Stoptech ST60 355mm setup on the front, with stoptech rotors, pads, and SS lines all around. Pro Absolutely bulletproof on HPDEs. You simply don't worry about brake temps or soft pedals, you get 100% braking all day long.
I ordered the kit from urotuning for my gfs 01 golf, been in for almost 2 years now no issues. They use a Graf water pump with a metal impeller.
On the other one i just pulled the trigger on ebc slotted rotors And the red stuff pads.
I ended up getting a kit from urotuning, stop tech cross drilled rotors and stop tech pads. I am very happy with the performance, the cross drilling seems to take care of the poor braking whith the stock rotors in wet conditions. The initial bite is a little less agressive than stock, maybe a different pad would give that back.
I am really wanting to try out the nitto Nt 05 I am in the process of replacing the stock tire for the first time but those tires would not last me a month if I was to daily them. so I am going with the Nitto invo seem like a good tire not being able to go with any I used when I was driving my beetle.
I'm running 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my stock 18" Laguna wheels on my Mk6.
NVH is similar to the stock tires, but they have way more grip.
Just had my done, no calibration needed (OEM glass)
My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.
The rear brakes will be an absolute nightmare. There is not a lot of room. As far as I am aware, MK6/MKV R/R32 brakes are the same, so... prepare yourself for a miserable time doing the rear rotors. The rear pads are fine. The rotors suck ass.
