My SUV's (180k odo) brake drum already has deep grooves--estimate is its a 1/8th inch deep groove. I planned to have it refaced and replace my brake shoe with an Advics brand but sadly the technician who operates the machine was absent so inadjust na muna namin. Currently using a bendix brand brake shoe (pangit yung kapit sa handbrake, it makes a grinding noise even when adjusted to the max sa brake drum tapos gumagalaw pa sa steep parking).

That said, should i just replace the whole brake drum when replacing the brake shoe? Reface is 2.6k, other option is to replace with a 3k Powerplus brake drum or a 9k brembo kit.
