I've been trying to find out some good info about the difference between the 26mm and the 30mm besides the obvious size difference. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Lol, the 26mm is the early version obviously. I'm not sure if there are more/better pad and rotor options for the 30mm than the 26mm. You have a larger heatsink to help with brake fade on track with the 30mm brakes. They stopped equipping the 300z with them for a reason and all other cars had the 30mm or larger from the factory.

With all that said, you'll be fine with the 26mm brakes on your S-chassis if you happened to pick them up.

The obvious difference is basically the only difference. 30mm came in aluminum and iron I believe 26s were only in aluminum.
