You could do the Camaro/Corvette Calipers and Impala rotors (16 inch min wheel) or all GXP set-up for half the price

G6 or G8 GXP? Or does it matter? Probably a stupid question, but will it clear a 16" stock Alero wheel? Looks like a big brake kit is in my future.

2005 Pontaic Grand Prix GXP is the kit to get.
The rear should clear 16 inch wheels, the front won't, you'll need 17's to clear them. The Camaro/Corvette calipers and Impala rotors will clear 16 inch wheels 
I did all 4 brakes on my car (rotors, calipers, brackets, and pads) for less than $700

Last question, and sorry for the thread jack, but will I need to get the caliper mounting brackets off an Impala?

No, if you do the camaro calipers with Impala rotors you need the brackets from the Camaro.
There is a list on here of the stuff you need. You can get a lot of it at Rockauto.com

Well, I just got r1concept drilled and slotted rotors to go with my raybestos ceramic pads. I wouldn't mind buying a used set mfuller, and wouldnt mind buying the custom setup everyone keeps talking about
