This is easy. If the wife actually wants to pony up some money for brake upgrades, go to ABS, at least for the rear. Front disc and rear drum are fine, but ABS is the only thing that would make the truck more drivable...uh, stoppable, over what the Hondas would offer. The as-designed brakes on your truck are safe enough, but the ABS would be a real upgrade. If it's a 1/2T, you could (maybe) dog-rob an Astrovan for what you need.
