      Hyrdatech Hydroboost or ABS Electric High Power Master?

      I've been reading as much as I can about both of these systems and can't see a clear winner. I know the Hyrdoboost is probably the more popular of the two, but everyone who actually has the EHPM from ABS seems happy. Here are my constraints & concerns:
      • I know both are expensive in comparison to a traditional booster/master combo and I'm mentally prepared (not financially!) to foot the bill. The price difference (maybe a few hundred dollars) won't be the primary factor dictating my decision.
      • I've heard the hyrdoboost isn't recommended for power steering systems with remote reservoirs, which is exactly what I'm planning on running next year (I want to use Billet Specialties' TrueTrac system). Anyone running a remote PS reservoir with hyrdoboost?
      • People mention the pitfalls of the electric system by citing all of the Buick GN problems with these - does the ABS unit use the same exact parts? Have these issues been addressed since these systems were last used in production cars?
      • I like the CPP MCPV1 master cylinder - which I won't be able to run with the Electric unit.
      • I have to make a decision within the next few days before my car starts tying up space at the shop it's at.
      This is for a 63' Belair wagon with 14/13" rotors and C5 calipers if that makes any difference.

      Thanks in advance,
      Eric
