Which Kool-Stop inserts for Deore LX brakeshoe holder?

I have a vintage Gary Fisher MTB with Deore LX brake shotes. I'd like to replace the inserts (not the whole shebang) with Kool-Stops. Does anyone know which of the many Kool-Stop models will fit in these holders? The inserts a much less expensive than changing out the holders.

Many thanks.

I'm assuming any of the ones labeled "Dura" will fit, but I would "trust
but verify." Can you pull a pad, scan it next to a ruler, and post it
somewhere? I'm trying to find a picture of a Deore LX pad holder with
dimensions, and the googs isn't working well for me.

Here's how it turned out: I took a brake shoe over to Harris Cyclery and we looked at all the Kool-Stop inserts they had. None fit. The Dura model was too small for the Deore holder. So I bought the Eagle 2 integrated replacement, which is a holderless one-piece with the post built in.

The Kool-Stops are much nicer than the originals. Thanks for the replies.
