Canti-brakes have same pull ratio as caliper brakes, so yes all fine.

the only drop bar brakes that wont work are the RL520s which normal state direct pull or "for V brakes" in the description somewhere, which are for use on (mainly touring) bikes set up with drop bars and V brakes (and bar end shifters).

Dia Comp 287-V are for V brakes too, but that one on Ebay doesn't give the model number.
