Lockup advice?

[blake at clockworm.com (Blake Irvin)]

OK, so, what brand/type of caliper should I use to replace the seized  
one(s)?  I'm not really looking to make this car a street monster or  
anything just yet.  Saving money for the clutch/tuning work I need to  
do would be a plus.

Any advice?  I don't mind using used parts if they are safe (which  
might be unlikely).
