Brake booster differences

I have owned several 2500-3500 trucks all of which came with hydro boost brakes. I have my eye on a 98 2500 now that has vacuum boost brakes, anyone know the pros and cons on these. I was surprised to see the vacuum boost on this one. John

Must have the smaller GVW and brake system, although I've never seen vaccum in a 3/4ton. You won't like them if your used to hydroboost, vague squishy pedal feel.
