There is no perfect front/rear bias for emergency braking on gravel roads or other slick/semi slick surfaces (other than an anti-lock brake system).

Rear brake bias on gravel roads will cause the car to change ends in an emergency stop. Front brake bias will cause severe understeer in an emergency stop on gravel roads.
