Hello Dave. I recommend the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE28YR. This uses a corrosion-resistant Maxx coat finish, which is similar to Dacromet or Zinc only better. So not as expensive as stainless, but still good rust resistance. These hubs have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and are 6K rated. This can be used with the brake line kit # 20TA-BLKIT which comes with an 20' long main line. Please do confirm that this line will be appropriately sized for your trailer. We do offer longer lines if needed.
As far as the actuator I recommend the Hydrastar EOH Actuators. You can get just the actuator by itself with part # HBA16. If you are in need of a full conversion kit, I suggest part # HS381-9067 since this will come with all of the components needed to convert from electric drum to EOH Disc brakes.
Keep in mind that you will need to have an electric brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 in your truck if you don't have one already.
I have also provided a link below that will show you out complete guide to adding EOH brakes to a trailer. Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

Thanks Jesse, Regarding the actuator, what is there to recommend the Hydrastar vs. the Dexter vs. Brakerite? Is there any material advantage of one over the other? Thanks!
