rear drums ok on a daily driver?

hey guys

Im building a daily driver 71 C10. so far, got the 5.3/4l60e in there and just rebuilt the front suspension and brakes. stock rims. stock 5 lug 12 bolt

Havent replaced the master yet.

Im moving on to the back suspension and brakes next.

I know rear discs are better. i know most of the stopping power is from the front brakes (mine are disc)

Im either going to rebuild the stock rear drums or upgrade to disc.

truck will never see track, never raced ... just to and from work and around town....

Question: Are the rear drums going to be ok for a daily driver or should i spend the extra cash and get the disc stuff?

thanks for your opinions
