Your driving style and budget
Are two important considerations. Only YOU know these and you should choose accordingly.
My car (which see) is driven conservatively and the DRUM brakes suit me fine. With normal maintenace, I've never been concerned about them. For agressive driving, discs are clearly superior for the reason stated. Contrary to popular opinion here, discs gained acceptance by manufactures because they a less EXPENSIVE to produce than drums. Fewer parts, easier to assemble, less maintenance, etc. (I may get roasted for that but I can show you literature to prove the point.)
Any bake repair or replacement should be done with utmost consideration to SAFETY. Piecing together a conversion from used may be done but, if you are inexperienced, you be better off with a retro-fit conversion from one of the vendors. Too many times, there is a disconnect that enters the equation and brake work is done for "bragging rights" rather than greater safety.
You be the judge.
