Avids are generally less reliable (according to internetsters) but mine (several pairs on multi bikes) have been fine. I've shimano and hopes and both have been great and entirely maintenance free for several years. Purely due to jnternetguff , I'd buy shimano over Avids. So far as your annoying rubbing problem goes, is there any playin your hub? This will allow the disc to move under the pressure of riding but may be fine on th stand.
