What are the best mechanical disc brakes for mountian bikes?

I'm probably getting a giant revel 1 because it has a great frame, but the fork is terrible, suntour xct 80mm with lockout. With such bad forks I want to know that the brakes are good at least. they are shimano BR m416.



How do these perform compared to other budget disc brakes such as-

promaxx cable actuated disc brake

tektro IO disc brakes

tektro novella disc brakes

hayes MX4 disc brakes



thanksWhat are the best mechanical disc brakes for mountian bikes?With any brakes the pad compound is VERY important and can make a very good brake work poorly or a entry level one shine. The next is bedding the pads in and not glazing them, glazed pads don't stop well at all. The best mech. overall are Avid BB7's.What are the best mechanical disc brakes for mountian bikes?I don't know if they are the 'best', but I agree with mtnbkr...Avid BB7's are hard to beat.
