Different brake assist systems? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, terrible thread title, but I was looking at converting my non-power brake 71 LWB truck to power brakes. I can get the booster and brackets and everything and run OEM vacuum assisted brakes. I have also found a kit to convert to a setup that uses Power steering pressure, which my truck is equipped with. I know a lot of newer larger trucks use this kind of system, I'm just at a loss at the benefits of the PS assisted setup.

Worth doing?
