Hope Brakes - yay or nay?

thumbs down. great when brand new but once u do any work on them they never come back as good. buy shimanos there cheaper, reliable and just as powerfull
What would you recommend for the Mega, Al? Have juicy fives now, but I'm thinking they wont be up to it. Saints, or the new XTs?
More for XC use but I ran the Hope Mono Mini Pros last year and found them amazing. More powerful (or at least as much) as XTR.

I have used Juicy 3 and Juicy Ultimate and am not overly impressed. Actually, the 3's I found to be pants - there was a 200+ mm rotor on the front and it felt a lot less powerful than an XTR/Hope 160mm. The standard pads were useless too.
i have a set of moto v2s there really good but al is right they start to die i ive replaced pistons but there defo not as good as they used to be o and there heavy as f**k 1 moto ways the same as 2 saints ill be gettin saints for france dont go avid there terrible exept code 5
