I guess I'd want to use brakes that are relatively easy to set up, with enough adjustment to make the wheel switch to 700c if/when that becomes an issue- and brakes that plain ol' look cooler.

I recall reading something about the DC960s having the least amount of stopping power, combined with the lack of adjustability, the need for a double ended straddle cable and generally not looking as cool as most other cantilevers () IMO- These bikes beg for the wide profile cantilevers- The M732/MT-60/MT-62 brakes are the gold standard for the wide profile cantilevers. I'd choose those over the earlier BR-MC70 brakes because they have the spring tension centering screw.
