The shorter cable hanger may reduce judder but may also reduce power. I have used mini Vs before which did seem to offer better breaking if you don't feel the canti's will give you what you want. You will need to run pads closer to rim but sounds like you are riding on road anyway so shouldn't be an issue.
I went back to cantis as the reduced power and better clearance are more of an advantage as my braking is largely done off road. (Don't have many junctions and no traffic lights on roads where I live so I don't need brakes on the road!)
