Since this is becoming an opinion based discussion, here is mine.
The mechanicals are just fine. They can sit for years and still work just as well. Hydraulic brakes won't, which might be a problem with winter storage and older drivers.
Anybody that tells you that hydraulics work ten times better than mechanicals has not had a properly redone mechanical brake system. It takes time and money to do it right, and people don't realize that.
