I can not agree more,
On my conversion i am currently doing I studied and planed which way I was going for the best solution for sturdyness eliminating flex on the firewall and made my own bracing brakets for my 54' and she is firm.
Them firewalls are like tin cans to the pedal compression that would just tear apart in no time.
There are many different boosters and masters that one could use but there are a lot of mathmatics to it.
The first place to start is to find them mathmatics.
What is your brake caliper bore or total bores on a multi piston caliper. (Add only one caliper)
Then from there you can do the math and figure in your Master piston size and your pedal ratio. and then adding in you your rear brakes is another added mathmatical throw in...
Im not going to throw out a bunch of mathatical solutions up on here as im in relax mode right now.
But in short, to start you need to know your starting point!
#1 what disk conversion are you going to use with what caliper piston/piston's bore and along with the firewall support being firm.
I took my insterment panel out today and took some pictures of the supprot I constructed, I'll post on here. (I do have stencils of my configurations)
Now to say this;
Graig on here seems to have been around the block a few times and I trust what I see of his work, as we also have a common friend Packard Paul and when that man talks I listen...
In all to worry about an extact postion of the pedal closest to the original position!
Remember this; Your installing a booster/master which is not original....
In all yes we all would like it near the same area.
Here is the pic I took today of from under the dash from firewall to a main support area where the steering wheel bracket is bolted too...
Looks as though i'll have to upload it from my phone, hang tight.

Those planning this need more info. Specifically the dash to firewall support. Of which we know nothing about yet.
