If you need more thermal capacity, or want easier to change pads (or less cost in the long term if you track a lot), then a BBK can help, but it won't make you stop any faster if you can already engage ABS.

That's not the point of a BBK. Even the worst cars on the road can do an emergency stop safely...once. BBK is to allow you to do it over and over in a racing setting.

A bit, but the vast majority of your braking is done by the front anyway. If one was to make the rear lock up first, it would be dangerous..
