Campy NR on the Masi, running Scott Mathauser pads, and EE on the Firefly, running Swiss Stop black on alloy rims. EEs have better modulation, more linear than the Campy, and more power per psi of level pressure. Both have more than a fist-full of stopping power if I need it in a hurry. The EEs run smoother. Not mentioned so far is that EEs are a pain to clean, with all the grooved surfaces and pivots. Get a toothbrush if your are OCD about it. They center more easily than the Campys. This year EEs have a newly redesigned cable ferrule that makes cable adjustment easier while riding.

- Just look to best matching brake pads. (matching your rims)
- And don't forget to clean the brake surface on your rims. (will do wonders for better braking)
^This. Better modulation and stopping power in dry/wet is Kool-Stop salmon pads. You can laugh all you want but running baby wipes through brake pads removes all the dirt and grime.

Anyone running 6800s or 9000s with SRAM (Force22 or Red22) levers? I understand 'SLR-EVO' (i.e. new style Shimano brakes) may not work well with non-Shimano levers?

It's a very recent article too, I hope it helps.

I've been using SRAM's hydraulic rim brakes the last few weeks and there's plenty of power and modulation available. Need noticeably less strength to get power on the brakes especially on steep descents. Don't feel like my wrists are going to fall off when you reach the bottom!
Thanks to @motorapido I've been able to use these brakes with Di2. A frankenstein mod but also extremely effective. Held up extremely well too. Saved me a couple times this past weekend on 3x downhill near misses with mountain bikers and cars, but got my tires pretty cut up in the process.
