'96 Stumpy A1 with XT-Vs
My project bike has Avid mechanical discs and I LOVE them! But V-brakes are still excellent stopping power compared to the old skool cantis. Or worse yet, the aforementioned U-brakes with single pivots which didn't stop worth anything and it was more effective to use your feet.
I still have XT V's on my girlfriend's bike cuz like I said, they work great for general conditions. The discs work better for me at work so I don't kill myself going down the hills in the mud.
