What's the best brake levers for riding the hoods. I'm not sure if this is mechanical advantag or not.

I just mounted a set of Universal levers. My calipers are Dia compe w/ Scott/Math. brake shoes. They stop great when I'm down on the hooks, but are weak from the top of the hoods. Any suggestions?
