I'll recommend what I did. My power mods are similar to yours except I don't have an upgraded I/C yet.
I decided to upgrade suspension, brakes, and tires over the winter. I suppose you need to decide what you want to do based on how you drive the car. I ocassionally track my car and drive it on nice days. I found that the added power threw off the balance of the car.
So I'm in the middle of coilovers, sways, roll center kit, rotors, pads, braided lines, wheels/tires.
After that, back to the power!

This first car I've had were I've loved the handling right out of the box, so I went power first. With all my Subaru's, I couldn't wait to tune the suspensions and it seemed to be an endless (sometimes hopeless) pursuit.
I'd say go stage II, and keep good tires on it, but once you get past a tuned Stage II you'll be wanting a better suspension.

Thanks for all the input! After thinking about it and taking her out on some back roads I'm definitely gonna go with suspension. Now it's a matter of just springs or coilovers. I know that's a whole different conversation, but if I'm not tracking the car I've read coilovers are not very dd friendly. Keep in mind car is a weekly dd and a weekend toy thinking swift of works if I go springs but don't want it too low and end up damaging the stock suspension in the long run. Decisions decisions!
