for those choices. i hate to say it. but buy the hayes.

if you can get some LX or XT or saint brakes, get those instead

The old Deore hydraulics work great, especially for like $90 a wheel.

I have no knowledge on the '07 ones, but I would probably rather run my bikes brakeless than ride hayes 9's.

Shimano for sure, I love their products, they make good **** even if some might not like their name. Japanese quality...

My wife ran the '05 version of the Shimano ones on her VP Free with 203 mm rotors - worked well for almost 2 years until she smoked a line up (could have been damaged from falling then continued to slowly leak out until we noticed it).
