    Anything from Shimano will be a safe bet. You can get bottom rung BR445's or maybe Deore brakes for your budget. Look at the German websites for best prices.

    www.bike-discount.de - theres one to start you off.

    Avoid Avid brakes at that price. You would probably only get Juicy three's which can be a bit tempramental though when they work right they are quite good.
    Shimano Deore brakes are pretty decent.
