The industry is and will be moving back to rear drum because of fewer noise complaints and it is plain cheaper. My 07 Silverado work truck has rear drum. Also my wife's escape does too. The composite rotor hub situation coupled with tighter tolerances and huge pedal pulsation complaints is sending Detroit back to the drawing board. Drum will stop the rear fine. Rear disc conversions are only for looks or serious racing because there is nothing unsafe about a properly maintained drum system.
Btw, I am currently in an automotive brake training seminar. I'd be bored without my iPhone.
