Hydraulic disc > Cable disc > V brake > Cantilever > Caliper > Drum.
For a road bike you want calipers due to weight saving. Most road bikes have calipers, some tourers have hydraulic disc, canti's or v brakes, depending on shifters ie for flat bar tourers they can use v brakes, if they're drops have to be calipers, unless like cyclocross with the small levers in which case canti's.
