I understand that brakes are independently operated and brake bias is more in your hands than your brakes. By brake bias, I mean the point of ingagement that the brakes ingage in relation to lever pull. I like to be able to grab full pull on the front with out having the wheel stop, just slow down and set the front suspension for a turn. Where on the rear I want the brake to ingage sooner and have more stopping power or swing the rear of the bike around a tight turn.

I'm looking at BB7 mechanicals or Avid Elixer CR hydraulics.
