    K18 with a doubt. Better modulation than the Juicy, more power than the Juicy, easier pad changing than the Juicy etc. etc. etc.

    Why I chose the Formula's. When test riding bikes looking for my Cube I managed to try loads of different brakes and the Formula's on the Lapierre I tested were awesome and they hadn't been bedded in

    the K18 is more of a juicy 5 level in that the K24 is Juicy 7 level, but they are both way better that the avids.

    Also the K18s can be upgraded to the same spec as the K24s at a later date.

    I'd get the newest generation Deores.
