Regarding SiC diodes, my old spreadsheets (this was done about 10 years ago) indicate a forward voltage of 0.86V for a 1kW boost converter. I know parts have improved since then, for example I can't wait till this is available:
All-SiC and Si IGBT + SiC Rectifier CoPack from GeneSic Semiconductor

That Infineon IC that I used was truly amazing. It tracked the input current and adjusted the output so that the Power Factor was always near 1. The switching frequency I designed for was 100kHz, and I used a torroidal inductor.
In addition, Infineon also provided some good information for designing boost converters.

Thats quite good.
High frequency PFC diodes I had have a drop of at least 1.1V unloaded.

I use this converter in my 1.5KW modules. Current is set via a shunt resistor.
