If I were doing DH I probably would go Saint but on my Trail/XC bike I went with 4 pot XTs and they feel great.
Agreed XT is the best all around value for money. XTR is expensive on spare parts.On all of my Trail/XC MTBs, I only use XT . For downhill, yes Saint is the group to have alongwith a pair of yellow Mavic Deemax.
