I’ve used bb7, spyre and now hy/rd.
bb7 are nice, loud and need adjustment.
Spyres are super easy to setup, super easy adjustment when needed and aren’t prohibitively expensive. Uses same pads as shimano. They don’t work as well with older Shimano brifters. When matched with compressionless housing very good brakes.
Hy/rd, again super easy to setup. With compressionless really nice feel, stopping power and modulation. Really poor match with older Shimano levers. If you use cross top levers no issues with braking. Expensive though.
If I was on a budget I’d get spyres, otherwise hy/rd. They are IMO worth the extra $$. I’ve had no issues with mine in any riding condition. Better in rain/cold/snow than the spyres too.
Another nice thing about the trp brakes is they are fixable. Trp sells all the parts to fix them from cable bolt to seals/ pistons etc. and specs on how to repair them.
