Disc brakes are the standard for off road rides. You can get away with mechanical discs for light trail riding. Hydro's are for medium/ hardcore trails. If your riding roads to commute mechanical discs/u brakes/ v brakes are just fine. After all when's the last time you saw a top of the line road bikes with discs?
