I have hayes mx-2's on my MTB and they have served me well, havent actually used avid's myself but heard great reviews on em at the time I bought my hayes ones.
Perhaps you are suffering from user error?
I had hope mono's on my other mtb (the newer version) so im comparing the cable operated with those. The hayes were just as reliable, just slightly less strong. This however could be down to the hope brake having larger rotor.
