I think it comes down to how much of a "man" are you,.......some guys complain about 2200 lbs!......I've been running a 3400 lb BorgBeck design in my Challenger T/A for the last 15 years,.....someguys can't even squeeze the pedal down on it.....they think I'm ......but I like it because the "hook-up" is awesome......but you have to beef up all the linkage system,....otherwise things start to shear!
My Daytona on the other hand has a Keisler TKO 5spd with a hydualic throwout w/ a 2800 lb Sachs B/B style......the pedal effort is almost non-exsistant.......the hydualic set up is nice, although you lose the "feel" that a "real" pedal gives you!.......I think your focus is best aimed at what your driveline needs are, what are the intended uses of the car,.....there are many set-ups to address any need?......so there's a lot of variables to your question,......everyones gonna have a different opinion on what to run?

Pedal can be gotten used to. I switched from power brakes to a big bore manual brake setup, thought about switching to something else after it first got in. Pedal doesn't seem even 'firm' anymore...you'll get used to it.

If you are looking for decent clamping force without the big pedal pressure, look into a Centerforce.
