Frame mounted boosters

Anyone know much about big truck frame mounted brake boosters? How they are sized, what types there are? I've got the old style leather seal type on my '54 F750, and was thinking of maybe moving up to the newer rubber diaphragm type and was wondering the differences between them and how to size accordingly...
