9" disc brake setup

My application is a little different since my truck is a street rod but you folks do the rear disc brake setup more often. Who of the five or six setups for rear disc brakes on a 9" would you recommend (BGY, TSM, Currie, BC Bronco, Motorman, ect.). I need a integral parking brake and don't want to spend the kings ransom the Stainless Steel brakes wants. This winter the truck is getting Thunderbird calipers, cross drilled rotors, braided lines, hydraboost and since it's a summer only toy I'm torn on just new drums and one ton cylinders for the rear or disc brakes.

Thanks for any help.
