Best Performing C/K Series Stock GM Brake System ???

[79 silverado]

Long story short, I'm thinking of re-doing the brakes on a project and keeping it for the long haul.

Is there a brake system off of any particular year of the c/k series that would perform best or have advantages over any other?

As part of the re-vamp I would have no issue with buying everything new from the master cylinder/vacuum booster/lines/prop valve/rotors/calipers/hoses/drums/shoes/etc. Most of these parts are either worn, old, or have something wrong with them to begin with.

Having said that, what would be the best performing set-up to use (ie which year) to go into a c10 with a 12bolt rear? I am concerned with stopping ability in heavy traffic and durability, do not care about bling factor which is why I am asking about stock configurations rather than the wilwood type stuff that actually has lower piston surface area than the stock stuff. It'll all be behind factory wheels anyways so nobody will see it. For the same reason, would be looking to just leave drums in the rear.

Is there an advantage to going to an 80s setup with the aluminum master cylinder over the cast iron one? (which I hear rumored is more friendly to occasional driving since the piston doesn't stick and blow out the seal)? Would the HD 1.25" rotors and such be worth the effort to upgrade to?

Is there a larger vacuum booster that would give any advantage over original?

I am primarily a newbie when it comes to brake system upgrades and the like so thoughts welcomed and appreciated.
