Brakes - standard Dexter vs never adjust?

Looking at rebuilding the brakes on my 2010 Laredo. My normal frugal (cheap) German heritage tells me to buy the components and rebuild them, my schedule tells me to buy the fully assembled plate and brakes.

So, bowing to the demands of schedule, who can speak to the standard Dexter brake assemblies versus their "Never Adjust" assemblies?

Thanks!

    I've had both and like the never adjust brakes more. It was more cost effective for me to buy the fully assembled brakes than the shoes.

    I am on the second year of having the never adjust brakes and like them. I have still checked the adjustment and found it to be set correctly. Since many of our miles are in the mountains I feel secure that the brakes are set and I have full braking available all the time. They are worth the small difference in price.
