Question What are my gains?

I've seen that I can use the Wilwood D52 calipers on my future disc swap [8 lug] and I'm wondering what the advantage of them is other than the weight savings? Wouldn't the stock single piston work equally as well with really good pads?
My truck will be a 70/30 driver meaning dry or light rain only, 18"x8.5" rims with 265/60/18 tires and about 500HP with a manually shifted 4L80E. Just normal driving with a max speed of 75 on the freeway, no racing.

Also what bore size manual master cylinder? I will have the optional 12.5" rotors and the stock drums on the full floater Dana 60.
