Heavy Duty Brakes?
I am prepping a "new to me" TV and looking for some pre-season advice. My tow vehicles have always been trucks I bought new, so was very aware of prior maintenance etc. My new TV is a 3500 Silverado...

I don't know what you mean by heavy duty?
Brakes for different applications do different things.
I can put street brakes on my race car but they would not do a very good job. I can put race car brakes on my street car but again, they would not do a very good job.
The best brakes have to do a balanced job. They have to do a good job in many areas. If you have brakes do a great job in one area you don't have very good brakes.
Another thing. All OEM brakes are programed into their ECM for the type of pad material they have. IOW's it's best to stay with OEM material.
All OEM do a great job with balancing their brakes for the job they need to do. My advice is to stick with that.
