For a heavier vehicle mech brakes will take a beating, and if they are made and setup correctly they will work very well. After seeing how well my lst and muggy stop with motor brakes I can see no real benefit to going mech brakes on vehicle that size. Now on something larger or heavier, or something with big heavy tires i can see mech brakes taking alot of load off the esc and motor.

One other thing, if you go with mech brakes you loose reverse.... Unless you have a mech reverse gear set in the tranny, but those tend to be weak...
