I don't know about the drums never changed mine at 96k but I use wagner or Bendix shoes and pads. I have wagner shoes (rear) and bendix pads (front). The front pads have 65k and are still good never a issue with either one. I will be changing my pads soon and will probably go with wagner thermoquiet from advance auto $46.99.

I've always heard good stuff about Performance Friction carbon-metallic shoes and pads.

Holy crap that cheap for the wagner thermoquite. They want $102 out by me.

I got them a advance auto Mon. put them on yesterday. They are quiet. I would not have changed them but leaving on vacation soon and thought I would go ahead. The bendix still probably 10k miles wear on them but I did not want to chance getting into a rotor. The pads are allot cheaper than them.
