Yup - cables are crap, period. Hydro discs. Great when they are working. Which they don't that well when it's really cold, really hot, really salty, really sandy, when you bash the rotor, rip the line, store your bike hanging up, and so on. Then they drag, shudder, squeal, eat pads, and so on. But they do, when they work, work very well.
Cantis. Simple and effective, if not, in the pure sense, as good as discs.
Discs on 700 23/25 - overkill.
