Your bike reminds me of a Praying Mantis.

A bit over budget but not by much.

A bit over budget, but well worth it.

Tektro Auriga's are powerfull but lack any control. Not knowing to much about stuff, mine have also been leaking fluid from the leaver, could be a piston seal or some thing? But can not find replacements only full sets. Nor pads. Opted for Xt's instead. As far as I know, Tektros make good brakes, just not good disc brakes.

Avid Juicy 3's are the standard disc brakes fitted on my 'hopper disc. They work perfick! So much so that when I stopped in front of a fallen tree branch this afternoon I nearly sent myself over the handlebars!

I'm not sure that œ50 would cover them, I think they are about œ120-130 for a set?

Most hydraulics will do that, even the cheap ones. The more expensive the brake the more modulation it will have.

I have a like for the Hayes 9's. They can be had fairly cheap.

Not necessarily. I found my Juicy 5's to have more modulation than that of a friend's Hope M6.

XT's are of a Different league to Avid Juicy 3/5, Lots more Modulation. IIRC, the imperials are quite good, but to put it simply, You wont get a better brake than the XT's for that money...
