If I were setting up my Sam Hill by myself, I too would have chosen V brakes -- Tektros -- for the hassle free factor; in fact I had a set of Tektros with drop V levers put away for such a build. The only reason I like these cantis -- and the only reason they work so well -- is that the bike came built by brake-competent people at Rivendell. But man! they are powerful! I wish the BB7 Road front disk on my 29er ss -- 180 mm rotor, organic pads, not bad -- was as powerful as this front Tektro canti.
