I really like the CR720s. Got em on two bikes now, and will buy more. Have early 90s Campy high-profile "Touring" cantis as well (http:// ruedatropical.com/2009/06/rhygin-metax-randonneur/). Love them, but the old smooth brake post cantis are harder to adjust, if that matters to you. And they are very hard to find and expensive now. Late 80s XT high profile cantis are also nice, but have the same more fiddly adjustability. I just bought some smooth-post brake pads with replaceable pads to reduce the need for adjustment on the old brakes.
Tried the current med profile Shimanos (BRR550). Didn't like them as much as the CR720s, and more expensive. Haven't tried Pauls, and probably never will. CNC machining just seems like the wrong way to do bike parts (Not as strong as forging, and thus have to be chunkier).
