If you're going to discs, there's two options. One is to hack and slash a SE-R (which had 4 wheel disc brakes) rear axle and fit it on your car. The other is the new Fastbrakes rear disc conversion, which costs about 265 + the cost of calipers and pads. Neither are cheap, but if you road race, it's very nice to have.

Whether you should upgrade or stay with drums is really your call. Most of the braking on our cars is done on the front anyway, so you can usually get away with just good pads, steel lines, and good fluids for more than adequate braking power on the street. But it really doesn't cost much to have your drums resurfaced or to replace your rear brake shoes... So really, it's your call.
