The stainless steel lines will give you a firmer pedal feel. It's a pretty good upgrade no matter how you drive.
As far as adding 986S or 996 brakes, the big question is about how you use the car.
The advantage of big brakes is not so much about pure stopping power, but rather about dissipating heat so you can stop hard over and over.
For pure stopping power, the right set of pads along with some sticky tires will make those base Boxster brakes feel like they're going to stand the car on the nose.
