Brake shoes - OEM or Pagid?

[Thassos]

Am going to take a look at my S60s (MY06) parking brake shoes soon, knowing the numerous stories of delaminating ones.. Just wondering who makes the original Volvo ones & would a manufacturer like Pagid be a better option when replacing them. Although ive always stuck with Volvo OEM brake pads as you often seem to get squealing and similar when using non original parts such as Mintex etc, what are peoples experience of other mfg's with the S60/V70 disc pads?.

Also on the subject of using things like copper slip on the rear of the pads, which ive always done, are there better products out there? ive seen mention of Ceramic grease being better at higher temperatures, or could putting product like this on the contact areas of the pads actually contribute to sqweeling brakes?

Replaced the V70 rear pads and shoes over two years ago at 94k. Fitted QH and the only difference is the roll back is reduced slightly although I would expect the old ones to have taken a bit of a beating on the shoe spine anyway. I expect there are 'better' greases out there but would you notice? I just dab the copaslip at the rubbing points.
The reason for replacing them was the stories I read about here and the reason for QH was at the time I didn't think they could be worse than what I thought then might be an oem quality issue. One end of one shoe was showing daylight
