new brake recommendations

Hi guys.
I just got my bike out which I haven't used for a while and noticed that they are both leaking from the reservoir. They are Avid Juicy 3's and out seems that I cannot get spare parts for repair so I am looking at buying new ones.
Can anyone suggest some decent replacement brakes for around £115 each (£230 pair)?
Cheers.

I beleive the latest line of Shimano brakes are sh one t hot for the money, many threads on here discussing them.
IIRC, the SLX and XT are the popular ones.0 -
You can get hope x2s for that with no rotors. Alot of the shimano brakes use small levers, not the full size ones like on your avids.0

i got hopes on my hardtail, they feel really good but ack power..
having ridden the shimano xt's and xtr's on a demo bike in whistler recentley i would risk giving them ago for the money..www.bearbackbiking.com

Cheers guys. Those Shimano XT brakes look good and are significantly under budget too.
If I were to buy those would I be able to mount them using my current mounts for the Juicy 3's or will I have to buy some different ones?0 -
Buy a set so it doesn't matter. Adaptors adapt for disc size and mount type.0
