Disc brake conversion in the rear

I am doing a body off restoration on my 1973 Chevy C10 and I wanted to get opinions from people who have 1st hand or even 2nd hand experience if doing a disc brake conversion on the rear makes a big difference or not in stopping power. I currently have disc on the front and I'm going to upgrade those but since I have everything apart I was wondering if it was worth the expense and time of converting the rear brakes from Drum to Disc. Thanks for your opinions in advance. Also, I was checking into brands on brakes and rotors for the front and back and I see and have heard of Centric, Stoptech (upgraded version of Centric), SSBC, Akebono & Wilwood. Your opinions on brands would also be helpful. Thanks!
