IMO people make a big deal about the technical specification of the brakes (# of rotors, # of disks, monobloc vs floating) - but the things that matter are feel for trust and effectiveness. I've experienced floating single disc brakes which can stop better then monoblocs, just based on feel and trust.
I agree the brakes on budget bikes are usually god awful, but it's not so much the actual technical specification as much as the brake system components are budget, and the pads themselves are usually the cheapest you can get.
