Kodiak stainless calipers with the dacromet coated rotors seem to be the most reliable combination. Based on what I’ve read I wouldn’t bother with the stainless rotors (prone to warping issues if I remember).

Yes Kodiak seem good, I’ve now done 2 conversions on different trailers, did the work myself, very easy to do yourself. I replaced the original bearings that came with kit with Timken this year after some issues but all good.

That's what I installed a few years ago. Works great. I ordered the parts from here: https://www.sturdybuiltonline.com/
I also ordered and installed some spiffy neoprene rollers with stainless shafts.
