Drums vs Delco Moraine - Lesser of 2 Evils

I know there are better options out there, but of the two options, drum rears vs iron delco moraines, is there any benefits, one over the other, for daily driving. I thought I read somewhere the drums actually stopped the vehicle faster, of course this would change with heat build up.

I would appreciate your opinions and/or experience.

IMHO, better off with the rear drums over the iron Delco rear discs.
