Default Brake upgrade

I have a 1977 Mustang Cobra ll and I'm about to do a complete brake upgrade, from manual to power, change front rotors and back axels from 4 lug to 5 . I have a 8.8 rear end 4:11 gears with posi traction and traction bars, leaf springs. Can anyone recommend a kit out there or a decent brake manufacturer I'm looking at Wilwood products at the moment. Also need to replace my air shocks.

I'd start with ditching the air shocks altogether.

Konis seem to work well for most people and a new set of springs if yours are sprung.
