I ended up going with Berthouds (50s). I was able to get them from a local shop, pre-drilled, and was familiar with the installation process from previously putting a pair on my Rambouillet. They went on fine and look great. I do need to clean up the stays a bit where I cut them.
One thing I noticed was that you want to make sure that you have a bit of space between the fender and the brake so that the brake can open up all the way. That's with Silver/Tektro brakes. After I put them on I noticed my front brake wasn't letting me put my wheel in with the tire inflated. It took a minute to realize what was going on. I added a second rubber washer to the fork daruma and that seemed to fix it. I might still add another. With the 50s I'd say you wouldn't want to go any larger than a 700x35 tire.
