If you go with 11 speed, Shimano changed the brake cable pull pretty drastically on those levers so you'll want the matching calipers. Good news is that they are packaged with the groupset which is how I'd recommend buying everything as it will be far cheaper than buying piecemeal, unless you don't mind spending hours scouring the internet.
