I too am getting ready for this swap on my 93 hatch. My list is pretty involved considering I am doing my full suspension when I do my brakes. As far as the brakes go, it depends on what you are doing. My list for brakes is as follows:
All parts are from a 94-01 Integra - NOTE: all integra brake components in 94-01 are the same(except ITR). The only difference is ABS and NON. No difference in size or capability.
RS M/C & Booster (Non ABS - Bolts right up, no modifying lines)
Front - spindles, hub, rotor, calipers.
Rear - trailing arm, hub, rotor, calipers, brake cable
New Rotors
Stainless lines
ATE Superblue Synthetic fluid
Hawk HP pads
Like building an engine or anything else, there is always a degree of how far you need to go for what the vehicle will be doing. If you just want disc brakes then Greasedmonkey pretty much summed it up.
If you plan on doing some serious road racing then go ahead and get the slotted/drilled rotors. For the street/daily driving, you will never need them and they will wear your pads much quicker. It is a common misconception that drilled/slotted rotors are needed... I do recommend stainless braided lines and a quality synthetic brake fluid. The stainless lines will help pedal feel but they are of course not required. Flushing the brake fluid with new fluid is a good idea if it hasn't been done for a few years. Over time fluid will absorb moisture and also attribute to a spongy feeling in the pedal. Synthetic fluid is also not required, it will help with fade under repeated breaking. It has a much higher boiling point when brakes heat up.
