2010 Avid Juicy 3 (Product Review)
reach adjustment is not effected by the reach adjustment. I've not had any issues with leaks, contaminated rotors, pads, or brake fluid on the master cylinder. Decent modulation, and grab. can get all parts as spares, so you can fully rebuild these brakes.
After few years I lost power, and the bike shop bleeding the brakes, did not help, I was braking hard and brake barely braked., and the lever blade was slow to return, so it was probably a internal issue, the piston assembly probably needed to be replaced. No hinge to quickly swap brakes. No can't...

Cheap hydraulic (Product Review)
Insanely cheap brake with proper stopping power. Reach adjust is nice and this brake is actually great for a budget build.
Super hard to dial in correctly for the same lever feel on both sides.

Avid Elixir 5 Disc Brake
A Hit or Miss Classic (Product Review)
Stopping power is applicable for downhill shredding. Decent lever feel. Alignment isn't too difficult.
Bleeding is more involved than most brakes, you might decide to make it your bike shop's responsibility. Materials are cheap. Durability and dependability have been put into question by many forum warriors.
