Early 944 brakes versus late 944 brakes

I am debating the different or benefit of the early 944 brakes with single pot sliders to the later 86+ brakes off a 944.

I am very familiar with the early setup and it is very easy to rebuild on put on.

I will be getting a '87 944 for parts and am just wondering if I should stick with what I know or go ahead and keep the later big caliper brakes.

My guess is that they all line up about the same...?

This is for a '56 Oval on an IRS pan. ALuminum arms, 944 rear sway bar, blah blah blah - the works. Rolling 6"&7" Phones from the '87... Basically similar to Mike Ghias car, granted hopefully different enough not to have a look alike car as it is not my goal at all.

Thanks,
