i would forget about trying to bring your mtb based preconceptions about what works and applying them to road bikes, i wouldn't bother with a disk brake as the large tyre required to make the disk brake workable (you will lock them too easily and lack modulation) negates the advantages of less rolling resistance and lower rotating weight. a decent road brake will throw you over the bars if needed.
