Looking for the all around best hydro braking system for mountain biking. Lightest weight, best performing, offering most adjustability, and most comfortable to use.

I have read reviews on both...of course written by expert and demanding riders, but seems like there is a strong liking to Avids Juicy 7. Seems like there are many complaints on the El Caminos...brake fade, uncomfortable levers, etc...
Just need opinion of real users out there... Thanks!!!

Everyone has a preference. I always rode with Avid's and have been very satisfied with the performance and warranty service. However, friends I ride with claim the Avid's are less maintenance. I think either is good, see what fits the budget.

Like the guy above me said, you're good to go with either. I have Hayes and always have had them and I like them. I have friends who ride Avid and friends who ride Hayes and no one ever really complains. First poster is right, see what works best for you.
Good luck!
