I recommend the self adjusting Teeter-Totter dual pull from SickBikeParts.comI use a dual pull hand brake, and when adjusted properly it works without
any problems. you can adjust it, so the rear grabs first before the front or whatever feels best. I recommend it.
~$20 and very cool. I use it on all my builds that don't have a coaster brake.
In short the two cables don't hook directly to the lever, they hook to each end of a bar, which hooks to lever from the middle.

On the illustration one brake is a V, the other a side pull, but the brake lever compensates for the cable pull mismatch right away, and then keeps 50/50 force on each brake at all times.
I don't know if have seen the Grubee GT1 bike, but it comes with dual V-brakes and a drum brake.
