There was a day when side pulls were viewed as cheap and tacky. "Racing" bikes had center pulls and touring had cantis. Then, racing bikes started to get better side pulls and all was pretty well until they went to short reach models and reduced tire and fender clearance to nothing. Now that better than ever, longer reach side pulls are available, I see no reason not to make them your first choice for the set up you describe. I've used every type of break and they all stop the bike just fine. The considerations are aesthetics and clearance so if you like side pulls, that's the ticket.
