When do you most want the brake to be close?
When going down hill with your hands at the ends of the bars all aero like = TT/ bar end brakes.
When in traffic with your hands on the tops = BMX style brake.
If you really want to you could do both. (could'nt be arsed to find pic with bull horns, but you get the idea)
