This has been argued out before and I do not want to start another arguement here. Just posting facts and other peoples experiences.
Not all "Corvette" master cylinders are the same. I have seen at least 4 different versions of the supposed same part number. Unless all of us have the exact same part installed, we are really just comparing apples to oranges when we talk about our driving experiences.
Lets do one of those hierarchy of needs type list here. You want the brakes to:
Stop the truck
Have firm pedal every time
Not leak
Those are the basics we all require and need. All of the above mentioned experiences handle that.
Then we get into the "want" area. This can vary so much between the same persons different vehicles, that comparing different people, vehicles and parts is what leads to a lot of the understandings. You might "Want":
Locking up of all tires at any speed with a toe twitch
All tires braking evenly at all times and under all loads
Brakes that work after going through a puddle or mud.
Disc brakes front drum rear.
The list goes on and on. I am very happy with my brakes on my truck. I adjust the pads at least once a month because I use it as a teaching tool for my students. Therefore, I know by pedal feel how much brake I have left. I want the booster though because stopping with a foot push in traffic with a trailer attached is a lot better than stopping with a full leg push every intersection.
