Indeed. I use the black. Salmon is for when you want people to know

The red oxide ones last noticeably longer (both in wear life and in
their resistance to fossilizing with age), and are stronger in wet
conditions. They're also a little more likely to squeal in any given
setup.

Does someone sell some better quality brake shoes?

Something that doesn't start squealing after a hundred miles would be
nice.
