As I seem to be messing around with brakes a lot at the moment, I thought I'd get other peoples opinions on the various types of brakes out there.

Ignoring vented vs solid discs, what are peoples views on grooved discs, drilled discs and grooved and drilled discs.

Personally I've only ever used grooved discs, as I have heard bad things about drilled discs in the past.

Also, just for completeness what people think about std vs braided brake hoses?
