Which of these shoes would you choose?

I have everything I need to do a complete brake overhaul on my disk/drum equipped car except the pads and shoes. Since the available sets of matching pads and shoes are limited, I have narrowed my search down to which matching shoes and pads to get, and I'm leaning toward the Raybestos SuperStop shoes right now, but wanted your feedback first. It's either the superstop or the PG Plus. Which would you choose for a more performance oriented car and why?

I have the BruteStops, and they are awesome....on a stock rotor. If you have drilled and slotted, they need to be warm to stop. Just relating what happened to me.

Yeap, but they don't make brutestop rear shoes. I want a matching front and rear set.

After hearing good things about the Bendix MKD-154, I went with them and I'd say they're a very good pad.

right, but I'm talking about shoes, not pads. I have drum brakes in the rear and will be sticking with them too. I wanted to know which shoes I should go with that have a matching set of pads to go with them.

Well unless somebody knows of any other matching sets of pads and shoes out there I'll be going with the raybestos superstops.
