There's really only one if you don't want to run adaptors and that's Avid.
The rest are designed to work with V-brake compatible mtn levers.

There's also supposedly a cable to hydraulic option based on Hope minis or
M4s, although they don't seem to respond to emails and the site is a bit of
pain to navigate, called 'discjockey' - see:
