Which Brake Lever?

I'm upgrading my custom build LHT. I'm switching out the v brakes with some Paul touring cantis, which begs the question, what brake lever should I use? I've narrowed it down some.

-Tektro RL340 - would work for my purposes, but i don't totally love the hood shape. And blah.

-Cane Creek SCR-5 - They feel too blocky to me, and i've seen the hood break on one before.

-Sram S500 - I'm assuming these have the same shape as all other sram hoods. I have only rode sram a few times, but I thought they were kind of blocky. Would these be too fragile during a long tour?

-TRP RRL - I think I like these the most. THey look like campy hoods to me, which is my preferred brand. Again, are these too fragile during a tour?


Any advise would be helpful. There are probably more options also. If you know of any, let me know! Thanks in advance!
