Installing discs wont increase the amount of stopping power. You can still get just as much brake torque on drums with a good set of shoes.
Discs have plenty of advantages sure, but if you're looking at ultimate stopping distances, its not one of them.
Going to a bigger front brake setup, as long as the master cylinder and proportioning valve are properly sized will not change the brake bias what so ever.

You should know better than this - you cant reduce weight transfer. Its a function of weight distribution and Cg, and its always the same.
