I hear you but honestly driving habits are WAY more important than the brake components. I fix cars every single day with GIANT disc brakes, the driver didn't put their foot on the brake pedal and push on it soon enough was the problem.

Believe me, study traffic as I have and you will find it's up to your driving more than anything. I feel the same way about my loved ones believe me, I give a ride to my daughter to school every single day with those drum brakes.

Under most circumstances there is ZERO difference between the disc and the drum. The distance you have left between you and the car ahead of you is the difference.
