Default C3 Brake questions

I’m planning on rebuilding my parking brake, including cables and hardware. . The rotors are original so I’m going to have to drill out the rivets. I’m contemplating replacing the original rotors, any thoughts? The original calipers were replaced 40 years ago with stainless steel calipers and silicone brake fluid. They do not appear to be leaking so other than new brakes hoses I’m not planning on replacing the calipers. Any recommendations or thoughts?
I am going to replace the shoes, need recommendations on types of shoes.
