I'll add: for cantilevers, the front brake housing hanger. I recently swapped out a very nice, sturdy Shimano steel hanger for a *tres chi chi* RH hanger because I wanted a headset-mount and stiff hanger to get more drop (3.5 cm vs 1 cm). The braking is modestly, but noticeably better with the RH hanger.
