If you're running flat / town bars and MTB levers, I'd run v-brakes. Cheap Tektro ones will work fine, the MTB levers will have enough pull for long(er) arm brakes (and you don't have to worry about cable pull like you do with road levers and v-brakes) and it will be a lot easier to set up than canti's. I've set up cantis on four different bikes and v-brakes on two. The v-brakes were a lot simpler.
If you're really set on canti's, the Tektro CR720 with Kool Stop salmon pads work great.
