It's so hard to be original here - brake questions.

Ok, im running juicy 5's at the moment and they are a bit basic, so im looking for a new brake. I want something with contact point adjustment, nice modulation, powerful enough for a bit of downhill, but also light enough for cross country. I know any brake is going to be a compromise. Im also looking for a rotor that won't warp as much as mine have on the juicy's.

NOOB ALERT !!!!
What is "modulation"? Is it "feel", or something else.
Sorry for the hijack, but I need to knowOohhh me legs hurt !!0 -
how far you have to pull the lever beteween the contact of the pads on the rotor and the lock up of the wheel. so basically yer.I said hit the brakes not the tree!!
