All rim brakes work exactly the same during winter.
That is, if enough road grime and ice gets onto them, they can get sticky and if there's ice on the rims, they all don't work as good.

having said that, callipers are the hardest to clean, while both cantilevers and V-brakes are easy, because everything is exposed.

higher quality parts will use materials that don't rust out, btw.
