I'm in the electric brake camp, but I've met people that argue surge brakes are far better than electric.
Personally I like being able to control the electric brakes independently.
The one good part is if the trailer overbrakes it self releases as the pressure comes off the actuators. I towed a fully loaded trailer with those brakes across Canada ( through the mountains ) and you didn't even know it was back there.
