John,
Consensus on both lists (here and the 510) seems to be that the
Porterfield R4S (not the R4) are the best all around pad. If I remember
correctly there's even one outfit that will reline rear shoes with the
same material, although I'm not sure that's really necessary since (at
least on the 510) most of the braking is done by the fronts.
I'll dig around in my archives and see if I can't come up with a dealer.
HTH, Ron
