Manual vs Power MC 4-Wheel Discs (Wilwood etc..)

Looking for some advisement on MC when running 4-Wheel Disc Brakes:

Current Set-up:
- Front : ECE Drop/Disk Brake Kit
- Rear: CaptFab D52 brakes (with the astro van rotors and caddi e-brake calipers)

I know I need a Disc/Disc Prop Valve and MC, just wondering which is the best setup and ease of installation when it comes to power vs. manual

Manual Disc:
- Seems simpler route
- The Truck is a 250 I6 with the 3-speed on the column so I've seen issues with the power brake booster clearance
- Corvette MC : 1" bore , vettes ran manual masters, cheaper route from the Wilwood but does the Wilwood offer any performance gains?
- Wilwood MC : Both lollife99 on Ginger, and N2Billet on Hazel are running these manual masters, but lollife hasnt had his on the road yet to comment on performance

- I like the manual disc idea just read the "horror" stories of driveability

Power Disc
- Tons of people offer various kits and setups but which is the best bet?
- CaptFab even offers a adapter bracket for new model boosters but wondering what setup would be best used for that

- Ive read issues with brake pedal pushrod clearance and fitment issues

Really just dead in the water on this one, want to do it once and do it right.

Hoping the experienced will chime in - Thanks guys
