I found that the parallel push ones developed a bit of play in the extra pivots and also squealed due to vibrations through looseness in overall construction etc. Could be poor set up from me but they seem like an unnecessary solution to an insignificant problem in the v-brake world! I've got a pair of Tektro V-brakes from eBay for £20 (which included levers, cables, and brakes with pads) which have been excellent for years. Don't have a link I'm afraid as it was a few years ago but they're still going strong, and with fresh pads and eventually an upgrade to compressionless housing, they're brilliant.
