3 things, if I may ask:

What year is your 986?

Depending on your answer above: if 2000 or later, is it a base model?

What size are your wheels?

My reason for asking these is because you could get yourself the front rotors and calipers from a Boxster S if you have a base model. They should just drop right in...the rears not so much if I recall what I've read correctly, but it only works if you've got 17 inch or larger wheels, I believe.

Might as well go with factory parts that you know will work and hold up to their task. You do have to watch out with hairline cracks starting to form between the drill holes on these types of rotors though. I believe even the Boxster S rotors are not safe from this eventual stress.
