If you already have disc up front hydro-boost is over rated.
Of course every one here will to tell you go hydro-boost, but that's to justify their own swap.....pointless!
The difference is inconsequential.

yea, i'm with montana highboy. i've driven hydroboost trucks, and they have some funky behavior as well as adding a lot of complexity to the hydraulic system. to be honest, you need to run a disc/drum master with your current setup. discs take a lot more fluid volume so if you run a disc/disc master your braking balance will be all wrong.
I can confidently say after replacing the master cylinder, lines, eliminating the factory prop valve, and adding a **** style valve, my brakes are beyond dialed. firm pedal, minimal effort and it stops on a dime. my other car's a cooper s, and my standards for braking performance are pretty high.
