I'm sorry but I just can't agree; brake performance is not binary, brake fade from continual use is only one factor to consider. How the brakes perform in different weather/temperature/riding conditions is also critically important.
It would REALLY suck to find out that some cheap brakes that worked great on the sunny+mildly warm day when you installed them but end up failing miserably the next day when it's a bit wet and they have a bit of mud on them. Maybe the city environment I usually commute in has more obstacles than most, but investing so heavily in your ability to accelerate + maintain high speeds and then sacrificing braking is an incredibly poor decision.
