v brake types

i have a 700c hybrid fork with brake studs on order. the plan is to install the fork on a bike with 700 x 28mm tire and an sks fender. aside from a compatible brake lever i see mini, bmx, and mtb v brakes. it is hard to find much info on size, it would seem the mtb is the correct one for my application, but i have seen the mini sited in some road applications and the bmx has some deals on a brake, lever , cable combo. i just swapped out the brakes on my trek 800 for mtb v brakes, that's my sole experience with that class of brakes. will the mini or bmx be suitable for my application?
