Anything with a reasonable spoke count should be capable. Be prepared to retension spokes after a few rides though.
Mini-V's will be required with standard road levers, Tektro make a drop lever designed to work with v-brakes I think. Generally the shorter the brake arm the better the rim clearance but the less power. I never really got on with the lever feel you get with mini-v brakes, cantilevers have better feel and modulation.
