If you're getting a custom build, I think downhill mountain bike disc brakes would be the best. The bigger rotors provide both increased braking power and better cooling.

Note there are 3 general categories of disc brakes: road (160mm discs), mountain bike (180mm discs), and downhill (200mm+ discs). The extra stopping power of mountain or downhill brakes will certainly be safer than rim brakes.
