Similar to AJ's, Traveler's, PeteL's and other's background...from first car...54 pink Ford Station wagon to racing a L88 Vette and just about everything inbetween and have tired just about every brand and level of braking materials. Even disigned 48" dia disc brake for Windgenerators (holding, not dynamic but designed for emergency stop in 80mph winds...one time).
Personal choice what this great country is all about. You can use whatever you wish, post whatever opinion you wish and those who read needing/wanting input can chose whatever recommendation they wish. Free country and nobody is forcing anything down anyone's throat.
Glad you found components you like and are satisfied with. But will say that a vacuum assisted Suburban with Praise Dyno Brake materials (even OEM cast iron) that has been properly bedded in, no hanging/sticking calipers, properly adjusted rears (if drum) will out stop your Raybestos (similarly properly set up system). I've had Raybestos (std cheapies to their fleet duty & HD versions). Ditto Bendix, Performance Friction, Wagner, etc. Didn't like any of them and wanted more braking, which is Praise Dyno Braking products for now (of that group only the Wagner HD carbon metalic would I recommend for mid level, but NOT performance level). No comparision, but that is my opinion based on MY experience.
