Can't do a direct comparison for you, but I know that my CTS-V1 with factory Brembos stops way better than my half-ton without Hydroboost ever did. (It stops a lot better than a lot of other things, too)

More pistons, bigger rotor and more clamping power is never a bad thing.

You are going to need wheels that clear the calipers.
