The levers "communicate" with the brakes only via the cable which delivers the "instructions" via tension and movement. So all that matters is that the brake correctly translates cable tension and movement. It's a simple question of leverage and geometry and nothing else matters.

BTW - while there are rough classes of geometry, ie for canti's or V-brakes, or for single or dual pivot calipers, these aren't discrete, and vary slightly among brands. If you know what you want, you can sometimes actually improve performance by intelligent mixing of levers and calipers.
