I would suggest for us amateurs, this is more a matter of trial and error than engineering. There is a LOT of variables to brakes (don't forget about pad size, leverage, clamping force etc etc etc). I would just start with around a 10" rotor and a set of good pads and go from there. That will cover any street use and light track days while fitting under 15" rims. When you want to do more serious track work, some race spec pads with the same 10" rotors will be a good amount of brakes in a sub-2000lb car.
For reference I daily a 09 Yaris. 2300lbs with ~10" front rotors and drum rears. It stops very well, rotors do not overheat/warp, and B-spec guys race the snot out of them on stock sized rotors with no warpage. I also autoX it and daily drive on NT01 tires, with some Hawk HPS pads.... braking is not an issue. The only downside to the HPS pads is they do require a tiny bit of heat and the Yaris is easy enough on brakes to not always retain that heat when just driving around town. Even cold they have roughly the same braking as the OE pads, but they do grip a LOT harder once warm. It's mildly annoying because your pedal feel changes during harder stops on the street. Then cools down and does the same thing for the next time. Still, I won't be going back to OE
Cheers.
