Personally Hopes,they offer a large range to suit all disciplines,I've fitted Hope mni's to my son's Oz and there amazing,the reviews for the new mono's I've read have been nothing but positive plus that black/gold finish looks awesome,there back up service is also legendary.
check out the mono M4 on this site.

I've been doing some research on brakes myself lately. I looked into Hopes and Hayes. I just ordered ... neither! I did just however some Magura's. They seem to have the best warrenty and customer service out of all the companies I've checked. Magura has plenty of systems to look into.

I'm putt'n a new set of Gustav M's on my Disco Monkey. If your interested, I know a guy that can get them cheaper than you pay for them in the stores.   ;D
