Cane Creek SCX 5 are the best canti's I have used. Easy to setup with a link wire in place of yoke so just one cable run from lever down to nut on the caliper with no messing around with cable through yoke (although lose adjustments possible via straddle cable length changes)
Have also used mini Vs but the pad to rim clearance has to be lower which is not good in off road use. They are also have less finesse so not quite as easy to control off road when tyre grip is low as easier to lock up.
But the biggest draw back to mini Vs is that the cable between the two arms is too low if you have big tyres. The rear tyre rubbed on the cable and had to move my wheel further back to avoid.
