What are the best shoes?

Hey folks. Just put new drums, springs and shoes all around the old 64. Purchased everything from Rock Auto. Unfortunately I fell for the "best price" deal and bought the Bosch shoes . What a dumb idea. I went from worn out old brakes that worked great (one foot operation that stopped on a dime) to a two foot operation that make for a hairy ride. The contact pattern is horrible. Mostly riding on the top of the shoes on one of the front drums and on the center of the other (haven't checked the rear). They obviously weren't ground properly. Anywho, I'm wondering who ya'll might think makes the best shoes? Raybestos is a big name but I'm not sure if they're made off shore or not. Almost everything is these days.
Your two cents worth or more would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wally
