I have both and both can work great if properly maintained and don’t see a advantage to either . I do see a issue with someone trying to upgrade with a 1936 ford. This is because in 36 ford uses a different offset in the backing plates and different spindle. So updates to a 36 juice brakes will be a few more bucks as the spindles need a upgraded to get proper offset on juice brakes as well and not sure if upgrade is the proper word
