Ive always enjoyed the feel of canti brakes (quite a lot of power & mudulation) and theyre adjustability.
I think disc brakes are a little unreliable to use on a touring bike, things like high temperature severely effect braking power. And brake pads are harder to get hold of in the middle of nowhere, especially considering many are model-specific.
