I'm using both the Ritchey WCS and the Reynolds (frame materials are steel and ti). Also running the yellow Swiss Stop brake pads. It was the change to these pads that took care of the shudder I had with the Ritchey. The pads work super in all conditions as well. An Alpha Q that I used was the most prone to it.

Make sure you get pretty close on the rake and the axle to crown measure on whatever fork you go with.
