Am I to believe that RAS has no opinion about Disk vs Drum brakes??
Obviously you all have an opinion about all the stuff that I didnt ask
about

Hi Tony,

Apparently not, I haven't ever seen disk brakes on a trailer so I
can't have much of an opinion on them. My only concern would be that
trailers tend to sit out side a bunch and I wonder if corrosion on the
Disks would be a concern.

It doesn't seem to be a problem for airplane disk brakes, or all the
cars that sit outside. Drum brakes can rust, too, in a humid enviornment.
