I had juintech f1 brakes, which are the Yokazuna brakes, along with compression less housing. I used them for 1 year and they were fine. Not great, but they stopped me. Canti brakes stop me too, for what that's worth.
I sold the juintech for almost what I paid for them and bought hydraulic 105 brakes. They are more difficult to set up, obviously, but work fine. Not great, but they stop me.
Maybe I have low standards? I just need brakes to stop me so that's a pretty easy bar to clear.
Or maybe I still need to try some magical brakes that exist and I don't know about?
I'm fine with my 105 hydraulics for the next X years. The levers are comfortable and pads are easy to change.
I won't think about brakes again until someone comes out with a brake that has more rotor clearance. That will be the next big thing to get me to care.
