Breaker Bars are definitely the way to go for getting caliper bolts loose. If you're going to use an impact gun, you better make sure you have the right extensions for it, and also, if you have a swivel bit or socket, it also helps. it also kinda helps if you turn the wheels. Of course, this method is usually the method I use on a hoist or something. If you're doing it via jackstands...good god, I don't know if I'd have the room to remove those bolts...
