Putting most of your braking to the rear is a BAD idea...You ALWAYS want the front tires to lock up before the rears!!! When the fronts lock, you go straight...when the rears lock, you go sideways.... 
That's typically the theory but when running on 4" front runners, it doesn't take anything to lock them up (and when they lock up you don't go straight) and since I'm bracket racing I'm on the brakes pretty hard at the top end. So I adjust most of the braking to the rear and the car squats and pulls down better with the big slicks. (now if they locked up, it may make you go sideways but it take a lot to lock up a 14" slick)
So you have a very valid point in most scenarios but in my case, bracket racing with skinny's up front and 14" slicks out back, rear braking works better.
