V brakes
Pros: Light, replacing pads is simple, fairly easy to adjust the V so it doesn't rub on your rims.
Cons: Brake cable can be annoying, basically won't stop if it's raining, especially if you have carbon rims
Disc brakes:
Pros: Will stop you in any weather regardless of rims
Cons: Slightly heavier than V brakes, brake rub can be annoying
There is zero chance I will ever own a road bike that doesn't have disc brakes again. They stop the bike quicker and more effectively than V brakes. On a long descent I am not worried about the rims warping or getting hot. If it rains they still work exactly the same. I am not worried about the extra weight. On my S5 it doesn't matter, as it's an aero bike for crit races. On my Huru if I really want to lose the weight in brakes there are so many other places to take it from (saddle, groupset, rims, etc.).
