Canti brake suggestions, please

I just reworked an older (2005) CX bike that I picked up, and I’m really liking how it rides. I don’t race, but I do like gravel rides. My present CX bike has hydraulic disc brakes which are excellent. But I might keep this older bike and sell the newer one. If I do, I’d like upgrade the cantilever brakes. At present, I’ve got Tektro Oryx brakes w/Kool Stop pads that are OK, but I think they could be better. I really don’t want to spend $200 on Avid Ultimate Shorties (that’s more than the bike cost), but I’d like an upgrade. Any suggestions for cantilever brakes? Thanks!
