Not Ranked
Update
Another thing that must be considered when talking about manual brakes, is the pedal ratio. The goal is to achieve a 5:1 Ratio. If the distance from the pedal pivot point to the end of the pedal arm is 10", then the distance from the pivot point to where the pedal arm meets the master cylinder piston pushrod should be 2". This, I have been told is the optimum point for the greatest braking efficiency. Look to achieve a 5:1 Ratio.
For power brakes the issue is moot as the booster is compensating.
