If you do choose the sidepull, brake from the bottom option be sure to lubricate the cable as you insert it into the housing and put a plug of waterproof grease into the cable adjuster before inserting the housing. that will prevent water entry and water vapor from rusting the cable. The other option would be a stainless steel cable and a very light lube.
