For just the actuator by itself the correct Hydrastar is the part # HS381-8066 that you referenced as it's pressure rating is correct for drum brakes and is rated for up to three brake axles. For a kit that includes the needed junction box, 7-way connector, a junction box for easy wiring and other various terminals for an easy install you'd instead want the part # HS381-9066 as all of that is included with this kit.

Then for a triple axle brake line kit we have the Hydrastar kit part # HS496-253. With this kit and the # HS381-9066 you'd be set with everything needed. The Hydrastar actuators are the best around as they are the most reliable and quickest reacting so we recommend them highly.
