not sure about the difference between the guide and DB5 but i just unpacked my new bike and one brake was faulty straight out the box, so replaced it with an old XT i had lying around. then 30 mins into my first ride the other jammed up.. so after about 7 years of avoiding SRAM brakes i thought i would give them a second chance just to be let down again. Never once had an issue with Shimano in over 10 years of riding.
