Braking Power

Hey all:

I'm not a tourer, just a lowly commuter, however I thought it might be smartest
to ask you guys about braking power since you carry loads.

I have direct pull (commonly called V) brakes. I have heard calipers are not powerful,
but what are the weakest and most powerful braking systems, in order?

This is purely out of interest

Thanks!

Prescott
