Martas seem to be regarded as a reliable brake. Mine weren't trouble free, but they were ten years old...
The MT series does not have a great reputation it seems, and has been through one recall. Mine were made after the recall though. Scant comfort.
The Hope Tech 3s seem to have that mythical mix of modulation and power that the Martas had. Reviews seem to indicate that the XTR Race brakes are also a bit less binary than the Trail versions.
