Which brakes and gears should I use?

[Flowta]

Just got a new bike with SRAM X-7 and Shimano Deore brakes (BR-485), on my old bike I have Saint dual shifters with XTR calipers and LX derailleurs.

I do really like this setup.

 

I've never tried SRAM before and I don't trust the deore brakes (I'm slightly heavier than most). I also have a pair of Avid Juicy 5s that I can use.

 

Which combination of brakes do you think I should go for?
