Interesting, I would answer the opposite from my experience. Changing pads on V brakes requires getting them perfectly aligned with the rim. Changing discs requires remembering to push the pistons in with a screw driver before taking them out, but is otherwise fool proof as there is no adjustment.

I've never had discs rub, but I think this is more a function off through axles vs. QR setups, which don't guarantee the wheel is in the same location after reinstalling it.
