Avid brakes were bad, very bad, when I was doing a lot of MTB, everyone who had Avids either had issues with them, or had got rid of them for Shimano.
Add to that your looking at 10+ year old brake, and trying to get spares (unless you're lucky with NOS) will be difficult.
If you want any sort of performance, go with just about manufacture other than Avid, I suggested Shimano, as they perform well, are relatively cheap and easily available just about everywhere
