I have three types on different bikes, Weinmann, Universal 61 and Mafac Racers. I can't tell the difference in them. The Weinmanns stop the best, but probably because they have newish Koolstop pads. The Mavics have old hard Koolstop pads, and the Universals have few years old Shimano pads. In my opinion the pads make a bigger difference than the brand of caliper. I find the Mafacs a pain to adjust and set up, but they are the ones I'm least familiar with.
