I replace my pads and shoes myself, using all the supplied "parts",
especially the anti-squeak one's. Then, I drive up a big local canyon, get
going 50-60 mph coming down, and brake hard. I do this several times and it
seems to break-in the new pads nicely. By the way, I clean the rotors and
drums with alcohol to get rid of the influence of the last pads and shoes.
All this seems to work for me.
