V-brakes are a good option, Shimano has always made good stuff, but any linear pull brake would work fine ideally don't but the cheapest stuff so you don't have a lot of flex in the arms. The most important thing is getting good quality shoes, pads, cables and housing. I recommend SwissStop or Kool Stop for pads and having a good set of separate shoes that are nice and stiff, don't buy integrated pads make sure they are replaceable. In terms of cables and housing, find cables that are stainless steel, uncoated and ideally polished to be nice and smooth and housing should ideally be compressionless for brakes and allow the cable to travel smoothly. For those I recommend Jagwire and the reason for uncoated is that coating can come off and muck up your housing.
