According to many peoples opinion I think it this way
Discs are very good when are good and treated good other wise they can be too costly
Drum brake are standard technology can take the use and abuse in other word they can be maintained
Calipers are pricey but labour’s not cheap unless you’re doing it yourself or have got fitters on the payroll and even then they could be doing more with their time.
Changing a calipers is a couple of bolts no dramas with drums you’ve got the potential for wheels corroded to drums, then if you’ve got to do the s-cam or bushing the slack aduster can be corroded to the s-cam, brake chambers you’ve got to cut and adjust the push rod to the right angle so it’s not just as straightforward as the headline cost of a disc brake parts vs drum brake parts.
