I've found BB7s and BB5s to be excellent, but I may have been lucky...
Inline barrel adjuster is more useful I reckon.

It can be but having a slight interrupter can make a difference in how the brakes feel, I always fit a full-run housing from brake levers to calipers providing there is a way to adjust the pads (like the BB7, this allow a much slicker modulation and less contamination too.

Turns out BB7s solved all clearance problems. Kinda annoying they don't have an integrated barrel adjuster but oh well, the inline ones feel okay.
Will report on performance after tomorrow's ride.
