Default Brakes!

Ok so im in the middle of my 44/60 swap and im addressing the braking factor. My front brakes use dual piston calipers, and ive converted my 60 to discs. What should i do as far as my master cylinder? how about adding a booster? should i switch the front to have single piston calipers like the rear does so the braking is proportional? im open to any and all suggestions!

if you still running the stock renix booster i would at least up grade to the dual diaghpram model and go with the brakes that are on the new rears ,thats what id do if it was ne im thinking about the axle upgrade soon also
