I have brazed-on Paul Racers on my Velo Orange Randonneur.  Best brakes
I've ever used, bar none.

I've never used the Neo Retro so I can't compare.  However, unless
you're thinking about a custom, your frame will dictate.  As long as you
have canti posts mounted on the frame in the correct position for
cantilever brakes, the Racers are ruled out.

Yes, independently adjusted on each side.

My front brake squeals a bit, back not at all.
