And how are your Shimano hydraulics compared to both of the above?
I am amazed this debate continues, there is a clear hierarchy of performance and ease of maintenance.

For everyday riding I'm inclined to agree. For racing off-road, it's a case of whatever is light, works and easily repaired, and in my own experience mechanical discs are more resilient to my maintenance regime than hydraulics.

A class apart, obviously.

We can only go on our own experiences. I invested far more time and money in trying to get BB7s set up than was healthy. New pads. Compressionless cable outers, squaring off the ends with a dremel, everything that's been recommended on here.
They'd work beautifully then. For about 45 minutes and then it was back to rubbing pads or no power or something else. Far too much hassle to persist with basically.
The Spyres I have now, on the other hand, do work well and, most importantly, don't need constant adjustment.
