MII brakes

Are there any alternatives on the MII brakes. I know the Granada hubs/rotors seem to be the gold standard.

When thumbing through other forums, I see the Mustang crowd like to run 80's Lincoln and Ranger rotors/hubs.

I've seen the 01-05 Sport Trac uses 12" rotors and hubs, which peaks my interest.

The F100/F150 from 73-96 use a 11.75" rotor.

I know wheel bearings will need to be installed for the proper spindle diameter, which seems simple since Ford pretty kept the same dimensions for years.

Also, I've seen https://www.mustangsteve.com/ has kits for late model 12.4 and 13" to be used on MII spindles. The only issue is sourcing early drum brake hubs.

So, are any of these viable options?

I know I will have to fabricate a caliper bracket since I'm using Pro-Touring spindles.

I also know that Baer, Wilwood and others have big brake kits. But, with $1000 and up price tags, I can't see the sense in that.
