I agree that a single circuit isn't the safest option if there's ever a failure of any of the hydralics. I had a car with a single m/c that developed a small leak in a hose while driving home one night, and I had almost zero brakes, so I know that it's not the best idea.

Function wise the stock single m/c works great. The front to rear brake balance was good (fronts locked up just before the rears) and the pedal effort, travel, and pedal feedback was great. I haven't driven any car/truck with a power brake setup that had as good of pedal feel/feedback that a manual brake system has.

A manual 1" bore dual circuit m/c would be my choice over a power 1" bore m/c. If you just have to have power brakes, a larger 1.25" bore m/c or a smaller booster, or both will help gain back some brake pedal feel and avoid the over boosted/mushy pedal that a lot of power brake systems have.
