I'm also looking ahead to my next build of mashing two 90's era bikes together. One has V's on the back and the other has a Marzocchi suspension fork that with the mount for disc calipers. Already scoped out the BB7 parts needed.
u-brakes can be very powerful. if your old ones are lacking, it's possible that a modern BMX u-brakes will fit the same way. set it up with some compressionless brake housing, good pads, and minimal spring tension and that should be a solid setup.
