Disk. Changing pads on these cars is easy and changing rotors is only a couple more steps.

If you do the rear rotors, you need to be familiar with drums because you'll have to adjust the parking brake on any rear rotor replacement. This adjustment is done with the drum brake star wheel adjuster, etc.

yeah you dont need to adjust the parking brake.

if used properly from day one, the shoes will never need adjusting nor replacement.

I wouldn't be supprised if most replacement rotors are close enough that an adjustment is not absolutely requried or not even needed at all. The shoes will last a lifetime - but it all depends on the diameter of the bore on the old rotors vs. the new rotors. If they differ by a few hundredths, the brakes will need to be adjusted. Not sure what the odds are. Somewhere between 0 and 100%
