>>1751810basically the early 90s xt or deore ones, for cantis, are the best levers you can get
don't shy away from STI levers either (ones with the shifter attached). Especially if the shifter is broken those are often cheap/free. And you can most of the time cleanly remove the shifter part with a hacksaw.
This is also something you can often get a decent enough set from the dump
like alivio tier is good even
just as long as they're not plastic and if they're cabled pull them hard and see they don't flex badly
