Front Disks: 5 x 4.75" or 5 x 5"

I noticed the CPP front disk conversion has 5 lug rotors with the car 4.75" bolt circle and the ECE (and others) kits have 5 on 5".
Do the CPP kits have the big 12", 1 1/4" thick rotors? Are they using car rotors or truck pieces? The ECE catalog has a line about truck rotors using larger bearings than car stuff and maybe braking performance not being what it should be if using car components.
I can't decide whether to try for a 5 on 4.75" conversion or the more common 5 on 5. The 4.75" kit would be much easier for me with wheels as I have stuff from my Camaro i could use; plus the choice would be greater.
Maybe someone who has CPP stuff could chip in on the rotor sizes and bolt pattern?

What are You doing about the rear?If You go with a 5x4.75 on the front,I would think You would do the same for the rear.

Whichever 5 lug conversion I do in the front, I will also do in the rear. I just want to get feedback on whether people are preferring 5 on 5 or 5 on 4.75.
