You are absolutely correct that it makes more sense to go with all new assemblies over magnets for cost reasons, because everything is new, and it's easier to install.

For a 3,500 lb Dexter axle the best bang for your buck is the part # AKEBRK-35-SA which comes with new assemblies for both sides of the axle that are self-adjusting. These will fit as a replacement and work well.
