I always replace the wheel cylinders when I replace brake shoes, because even if they're not leaking yet, sometimes they will after you disturb them, and they're not that expensive anyway. As for the master cylinder, if it's not leaking or by-passing(pedal will ooze down sometimes) then it should be OK. Check your drums for excessive wear or cracks, and make sure your springs and hardware are in good condition. When replacing the shoes, if the lining on two of the shoes is thicker or longer than the other two, put those to the rear.
