Brakes are confusing me

So I got my new bike back, I have decided that the Hayes Sport Dyno brakes it came with are pants & I am looking to upgrade.

I did see some clarks sets, namely CNC 540 & 790 but can find no reviews whatsoever so no idea if they would be any good.

Also the Tektro Orion brakes?

Any other recommendations? I was looking at saints but out of my price range really. Not so keen on Avids as all I ever seem to read about them are problems.

Suggestions are of course welcome.

    As above also, or Magura MT2, which are more expensive but lighter.

    I have MT2 and Deore 596 on my bikes and both are faultless, really.
