If riding around the suburbs with the kids then V brakes or whatever the bike comes with are fine. If you are riding cross country or full downhill rigs then discs are king.
The minimal amount of finger pressure needed to operate discs and the better performance under harsh use coupled with much better "feel" up to the lock up point it is a no brainer.

I have Juicy brakes on my two bikes and they operate without issue until the pads are consumed at which point they are bled and the pads are replaced then repeat the abuse. I have had other set ups on the bikes but the Juicy brake stuff has been trouble free.

Although if you really want to be ruler you could turn your nasty downhill rig into a fixie

joking of course-


My guess is that the two guys in the vid below have big balls and disc brakes, mostly just big balls. Unbelievable.
