Since it's a GM h-boost, Corvette would be easiest, right? due to bolt hole spacing?

I'm currently using a late model Mopar master cylinder (maybe '98 or '99 Dodge pickup?) with 1.25" bore, but I think I'm going to go back to my favorite 1.125" bore Mopar off early '80s-newer vans/pickups because I'd like to have a little more pedal travel.

I really like the late model aluminum/plastic masters regardless of brand because of the screw-on caps and less weight hanging off the end of the booster/firewall.

Not really. The Dodge master has slightly smaller mounting holes than the SD studs you'll have to bore them out, which is quite easy since they're aluminum. And you'll need to shorten the booster pushrod a bit - also easily accomplished. Works just fine after that.
