Why are the 11.75 Brake Better?

The Dr. Diff kit comes with slider-type calipers, that's also the type on my car currently. It's weird Hawk sells the pin-type ones it since it seems that type is less common on the popular A/B/E-body Mopar muscle cars.
I looked and Hawk does not appear to have pads for sliding calipers, but EBC does in at least 3 compositions.
