Default Standard or Wilwood brakes on an ERA?

One of the last options I'm considering on the car ERA is building for me is standard vs. Wilwood brakes. I'm going with the Jag rear end with inboard brakes, and I will use the car almost entirely on the street. I've read all of the posts I could find and understand the standard Camaro-based brakes are very good, with a large swept area, good servicability, and solid braking for a relatively light Cobra. But I'm still considering ERA's Wilwood option for the front only. I also should mention I will use stainless hoses all around.

I'd appreciate your opinions, especially from those who are using the standard brakes on a street-driven car. Are you happy with them, or do you regret not getting the Wilwoods?

Thanks!
