Buddy's got an 93' C2500HD (with the eight bolt rims...), Front Disks and Rear Drums.

 

What I'm hoping to find out what people think is the best stuff to make brake pads & shoes out of.

 

I'm looking at semi-metallic and ceramic brake pads; there's just too many d--- choices.

 

Truck hauls a decent load about three or four times a month, otherwise it's 90% freeway/10% hilly mountain passes and snake trails.

 

If I'm dealing w/ the local NAPA Auto parts store, is the a proven, go-to brake pad/shoe recommendation?
