Should I use a resevior or a pump?

Well gonna be rebuilding my brake system/ haven't driven the car with the new cam which is quite large. Running 520*, .540* lift, duration @ .50 is 236, 242 respectively all on a 110 lsa. So I am figuring a pump is the only solution to have functional brakes. I am not gonna cry about the cost associated with it. Just need to know what is the good way to go about stopping. I have all the stainles lines and slotted rotors and good pads I need to install so I am just trying to figure out what I need to make the g-ride stop properly. And for that matter what should be optimal vacuum for an f-body?

If you're worried about it install both of them. IIRC, 12-14" is good.
