vacum booster help

I Need to replace my vacum booster.

351M auto F100

I read the article on the 78-79 bronco brake upgrade.
I just got more confused.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?
Should I just replace it with an OEM part or the equivalent there of? or should I look for a 78' F350 with Master cylinder???

I'm lost, help?

For a big difference in braking ,There is more to it than just changing the M/C.

There are caliper & rotor issues.

So the easiest (most straight forward) thing to do is to just replace it with a OEM application?

So to go to the more effective brake setup, I would need the booster, M/C, calipers and rotors???? are the calipers a driect bolt on to what I currently have (which is stock equipment)?
