Which brake shoes to use?

I came across a rear brake shoe set for a good price. They are Raybestos 421pg and the part numbers appear to synch (p/n 211609537N). It would be an online purchase. Any preferences, comments about Raybestos, or general insight about shoes? The thickness is not mentioned.

About the only thing I look out for is rivetted brake shoes versus bonded brake shoes. I like bonded. The quality of the shoes you get may be good, it may be lousy. Have the warranty figured out.

Why a preference? Do the riveted ones work loose?

I used to rivet brakes shoes back in 1979. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
(p.s. yes, and they rip up drums when the shoes get worn)
