Oh hai, I was looking for Spatr's new bike thread but I seem to have accidentally loaded the stem anti-porn thread :P
Putting aside that you don't want Archetypes because they're too common (and that @hugo7's reasons not to buy them are actually mostly reasons to buy them!) I own Archetypes and Ardennes and you should get Ardennes for this. The Scandium ones really because they're lighter :)
I'm amazed nobody has mentioned the TRP R960's. Y'know, the brakes that the Planet X ultralight brakes are a cheap copy of? They are both the lightest and most powerful brakes I've ever owned and I regret selling them to @dbr now since I decided to stop trying to shoehorn guards onto my road bike.
They are stupidly expensive but they are still almost half the price of EE brakes.
