Hydroboost? I wouldnt recommend it. Not only is the pedal feel really bad, your "assist" can be affected by something as dumb as the PS belt tension. I've also panic stopped a hydroboosted GMC crew cab that was pulling an open trailer with a car on it. I dont ever want to be in that situation again. EVER. An evasive maneuver combining heavy steering effort and heavy braking effort is a bad deal.
Not a fan of vacuum cans, for the same reasons as already mentioned.
I have more than one car with manual brakes, and one of them is a disc/drum street car. With the right combination of parts, the pedal feel and feedback is hard to beat in my opinion.
