Have seen these around my budget but which one is the best brake.
Swaying toweards Shimano as everuythign else has been totally reliable but am I just being boring?

No. SLX are great.
Had Trails and now have SLX the SLX is an excellent brake.
Brian Lopes has Stroker trails on his Ibis! Both are very good brakes.
I have both. SLX is better.
Stroker are solid for braking no complaints there but no adjustment and I'm forever setting them up again to stop rubbing, seems a common problem. Can be noisy too. Not tried many others though.
I've got lower spec shimanos on one bike - excellent. I've got Stroker Trails on the other bike - also excellent.
Hard to pick
SLX are better
I've got strokers on one bike, excellent brakes can be noisey when wet.
I've got Shimano's on the other, excellent brakes, can be noisey when wet.
Take your pick
i used stroker trails in the us...they felt good...but the levers didnt rebound very all the way all the time
