I’m the second to the last bike expert but what I haven’t read yet is disc brakes superior wet weather performance. Granted I avoid riding in the rain but both Wisconsin and Chattanooga were soaking wet on the bike. My carbon wheels with their matching brake pads are pretty much useless in the rain and I almost need to do a Fred Flinstone stop. And for reference I do have hydraulic discs on my road bike and have been caught in the rain. The difference is night and day!
