Default Brake question

I’m looking at options on changing my brakes to hydraulics.Im pretty sure I’m going for self energising brakes for the front but was wondering if standard 40 brakes would’ve ok on the rear.As the front brakes are supposed to be more efficient in a conventional system ie; disc front/ drum rears, would this even be better?Scarcity of self energising rears and cost of “new” Lincoln ones are also
Considerations....living in England means import costs push the price of new rear backing plates to around $800+.

My rod brakes are in good order but I am thinking of fitting a dropped axle and this dictates the brake swap.

I’m not looking to save money at the cost of efficiency but rather do
not want to spend if not needed.
