Disc brake question

[Fly1]

OK I have some mag three spoke wheels on the way. I need to buy a disc brake kit. Like everyone I,m on a budget & can't afford the pricey kits.
Amazon has so many I don't know which to buy. What ever kit I buy will be with both front & rear disc & calibers & cables. I have a two pull lever
already. Of course I want it to have ample stopping power. But also want to be able to find replaceable brake pads when time comes to replace them .
Any ideas on which kit to buy?

I've used these. They were cheap and worked well enough. They require adjustments as the pads wear. Pads are readily available as well. There are better ones out there but if cheap is your only option these work.

I've also tried cable pull hydraulic brakes.
They work very well but they didn't last very long before 1 started leaking and the 2nd one would release after being applied.

Currently I'm using Race Worx dual piston calipers. They work really well and easy adjustment. There is a piston on each side of the rotor and it squeezes the rotot evenly everytime. Best set of brakes I've tried yet. And I use floating rotors. 203mm front 180mm rear.
