Brake levers for Nitto Albatross handlebars

I've been doing some searching here in the forums and around the internet and I cannot seem to find a specific example of what to use.... I just put the Nitto Albatross bars on my wife's single speed and was using old Altenburger brake levers off her old Schwinn. But, the brake cables are shot and they are those semi-proprietary style ones with the round stop-ends on them. All the other brake levers I have laying around are road style and the available pull distance isn't great enough on these bars. I figure I may be better off buying new levers that use more modern style brake cables and will be easier to replace/fix.

Anybody have suggestion for brake levers that would work well on the Nitto Albatross bars?

Any mountain lever that works for cantilever brakes (NOT V-brakes) should do it.
