V-pulls are a lot easier to manage with a minimum of experience. I've got cantis on 2 of my bikes, and I must admit that I miss the user-friendliness of my ol' reliable V-pulls.
ETA: My Waterford has a brake bridge, which is used by the canti. It's a very cute little thing, very sexy. I wouldn't mind even if it were unused. Waterford/Gunnar makes pretty stuff. My Surly uses a long removeable cable hanger-thingummie instead. http://surlybikes.com/parts/cable_hanger/ I don't have my v-pull bike handy to compare.
