[Closed] Brakes that are simple to align (bit long, but give it a chance)

Before I'm crucified by the STW collective for posting this question may I explain that even though I've read most of the threads on this site, MBR & B Radar... I'm now chasing my tail.
TBH ever since my first Hydro 'Up grade' Gremica (remember those) I've yet to experience trouble-free cycling. I accept that maintenance and hydros go hand in hand but all of them, including my hayes hfx 9's and hope M4's consumed an unpleasant amount of man-hours in ‘servicing’ tasks such as pot seal replacement, piston lubes and the most painful of all...the post new pad calliper ‘EPIC SHIM-FEST’.
Admittedly, I have suffered moments of servicing stupidity (usually when rushing or being simultaneously tortured by my children) from time to time, but I’m reasonably ‘savvy’ with all things engineering.
So, could you guys & gals (just one more time) recommend a brake that’s easy to align, reasonably powerful (2 finger braking will do) for XC rides and racing.

I’ve never achieved both units running correctly. Either the front or rear in isolation (with respect to rubbing) but never a united free-spinning utopia, post brake application.

Would I be correct in thinking the Avid brakes feature a unique alignment design? There’s overwhelming support for the Formula R1’s, from a power aspect, but they too look like they might suffer from alignment issues? I don’t know, they don’t seem to employ the easy adjustment features other manufacturers boast?
Cheers.

I seems they(Hayes, Hope)suffer from pad retraction issues rather than power?

EDIT: I’m I expecting too much, I love my MTBing but the pre-ride ‘fettling’ is really wearing thin, esp. now that spare time has become a precious commodity.
