Although I've not used it directly I have heard that a good combo if it will fit over your tyre is Sram S500 levers with TRP CX 8.4 mini V brakes.
I use those levers with TRP CX9 and the pads are a bit close to the rim, but have really good power. The CX 8.4 has a shorter arm which means the pads can have a bit more clearance, and should still have plenty of stopping power.
