I've already preached at some length about my preference for drums due to the things you noted. Alas, they are out of style these days. :/ You can be sure that I don't consider changing a drum car to disks an "upgrade" and I'll never do it unless it's a track racer, the vehicle gets used for towing/hauling that is too heavy for the stock drums, or maybe if I move to the mountains and the drums prove inadequate. In those situations I would attempt drum upgrades first, like cooling ducts/holes, pad material upgrades, etc.
On your Honda it will be well worth your time to pop the piston out of that caliper and dig the crap out of the groove where the seal sits. Corrosion builds up in that groove over time and presses the seal ever tighter against the bore, to the point where it sticks. I did that to fix my draggy Gold Wing brakes and I didn't even replace any seals- they looked good enough to keep in service.
