I want to replace the cable disk brakes that came with my bike. However the brake levers are part an integrated brake & shifter pods so I will need to replace the shifters too. The bike's gearing is 3x8

I've been looking at Brakes: Deore M615 (levers and calipers) £35 each and Shimano Acera M360 8x3 speed Shifter £22 for the set.

Does this seem like a good selection?

Is it worth trying to find shifters and levers that are ISPEC or integrated? Don't seem to be many for 8 speed. I'm just wondering that since I'm used to the integrated type that there might be a bit of a reach.
