On mine I changed the whole rear end to a Borg Warner 78 from a HSV clubsport/nissan skyline, which came with its own discs which aren't exactly massive at 260mm solid. I did mine for the diff swap though (read about it on other posts), not the brakes. Put plainly, the disc handbrake that I got now is absolutely woeful for handbrake turns (can only manage it on really greasy or loose surface now), but does the job reasonably of holding the car on a hill. I don't mind this, as I wanted to keep myself from doing handbrake turns in this car (I've got other cars for dirt roads!), but as I said I didn't swap the rear end for the sake of better brakes, but then again I suppose it does look a bit better to look through the back wheels and see something shining back 
If you like a bit of handbrake action, then leave what works alone. If you manage to toast the drums regularly, then replace them.
To me $800 for an open diff with discs and the tiniest looking calipers man has ever known seems a bit excessive, but each to their own, and may we each be proud of what we do.
