What brands for rear brake parts?

[Taylor20]

If any members have replaced rear brake drum parts, what brands have decent quality in the aftermarket world? I just inspected my rear brakes, and found uneven wear on the shoes, and drums at the maximum diameter.

I will be going Toyota for the shoes, but the drums will have to be aftermarket. Even with my employee discount through Toyota, I can't justify spending that much on drums.
I will also be going aftermarket on wheel cylinders and the parking brake bell crank kit. My wheel cylinders aren't leaking, however I am one of those that will replace them while I am there, since my luck will be that they will start leaking shortly after or the bleeders will break when loosening.

I plan on doing this at the same time I do the TBU, and install an extended rear brake line.

Anyway, what brands have you had good luck and reliability out of?

I have Napa drums with Toyota pads and they seem fine.

Youngest son, on the way home from the DMV with his brand new permit, left the e-brake on for 15 miles back in 2001 when I had less than 20k on her. (Yeah, I know, my fault. ) He fried the drums, but, amazingly, the shoes were ok. I put NAPA drums on and they are still fine at 165k. Same factory shoes. And yes, they work. Shoes have only another year to go, maybe two.

Have you considered seeing if you can get the original drums turned. Might be cheaper

I used pretty much used all O'Reilly's stuff on my wife's '01 (Brakebest). Think I got the bell crank parts at Napa. IIRC I had to get star wheels from Toyota because the O'Reilly part # ones were backwards from the one's on her truck. Apparently they face forward on some models and backwards on others. Anyway, everything works fine after adjustment. I have part #'s if you need them.

Mic'd them last night and found they are at the max diameter. Shoes are between 4mm and 2.5mm on the leading shoe, so I'll be replacing the shoes with Toyota due to uneven wear.

Leaning towards Napa drums. Not sure on the wheel cylinders yet. Have all other hardware parts except parking brake bell crank. The adjusters are not seized and still look brand new after cleaning the dust off.
