Brake Lever Recommendation

I just noticed that over the last year my brake lever is ripping up my brake cable. I'm using cross levers on bullhorns, so by using it as a primary brake I'm messing things up. When I finally noticed this, I'd eaten through over half the cable. The idea of suddenly ripping through by brake while flying down a hill at high rpm is a bit horrifying.
Anyone have any good recommendations for brake levers to fit bullhorns? My bars are hella long, so while I could go with TT levers, but I'd rather not. Also, is riding with TT levers even a good idea for a commuter? I get nervous when carbon fiber gets too close to my "I don't care how dirty it is" bike.
