Hey guys, im stumped on brakes for my S13

My car will primarily be for drifting, so rear brakes are important
Im thinking 3 options,

1st would be running Z32 calipers and rotors all the way around, only thing im unsure about is the rear ebrake, is the drum ebrake any good? Also 30mm or 26mm, and aluminum or iron?

2nd would be running Z32 calipers and rotors up front and wilwoods in the rear, but the issue with that is would the ebrake even work with wilwood calipers or what would I have to do?

Or should I just use the OEM rear calipers with better pads, lines and rotors? But with that how would I go 5 lug in the rear with the OEM calipers?
