I am building a mountain bike for a family member. What are the best flat bar levers for Avid MTB BB7 disc calipers?

I want something strong and with decent modulation for 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors.

The Avid FR-5 levers that came on my ECR work great with the BB7's.

I don't like the reward facing clamp on the Avid levers. I find it sticks out too much and gets in the way of my thumb or palm, depending on how I'm holding the bars. I prefer the Shimano cable levers. Work great and the clamp bolt is tucked away. The clamp is also hinged, which makes moving/installing them a snap. Money no object? Those Paul Component Love Levers look mighty fine...
