Need your opinion on 8-lug drum to disc conversion

I'm seriously thinking about converting my '69 C20 to front disc brakes. I have been looking at the CPP kits, but I'm not sure if I should keep the 8-lug set up or change it to 5-lug. What do you guys think? If I change to a 5-lug set up would I have to change out the entire rear end, or is a gear/axle swap possible on a corporate 8-lug rear end? Lets hear it!
