Default Snyders or Randy Gross for rear brake rebuild.

I am going to need to have the rear brakes rebuilt this fall or winter. I see where some like the guy who advertises in the swap section Mel Gross so I assume it is the same as the Randy Gross who some have talked about.My brake drums are not very good shape but hjbs look good backing plates are in bad shape as far as wear.So I don't know which would be best for starters which would be the best cast iron drums or mayby the same Snyders versus Randy or Mel Gross. The levers for main brake shoes and emergency brak shoes are so worn they wiggle but yet they still worked as if nothing was wrong.So far the axle housings look better than any early V8 I have ever had. I had a devil of a time pulling the right rear drum off as the shoe parts were so loose they kept shoes pressed against drum after pulling half way out. I was actually hoping to buy a complete rebuilt rear like I lucked out on the front but so far no close by street rodders have been found.Thanks for any advice,I know it is not going to be cheap.
