Canti brake lever question

Crrently running LX canti with V compat Tekro drop levers. Ok but no better than with mini V’s except looks. Changing bars and want to use other levers but these are nromal road ones. Question is, do these work ok with short cantis like the LX ones? Trying to avoid strping the other evers/tape etc off the old bars. got a choice of Suntour or Shimano. Opinions please
