I'd get disc one, as the cost of disc wheel and brakeset is pretty low (full hydraulic brakes can be get for between £25-50).

What is this £25-50 full hydraulic brake option?

No, already have a bombproof rear wheel and SON dynohub front that have lasted 20/10 years so far and will do that again easy. Also I hate this attitude of just buying shit because it's new and cheap. The bike works perfectly well in all department other than the frame (and even there I'm being picky, it's rad other than when fully loaded). Anyway, when did you become such a disc evangelist?

Anyone got any frame recommendations for: 26", flat bars, QR, strong, rim brakes
My 80s MTB is great but it feels like a wet noodle when fully loaded with 50kg of shopping, to the point where it feels dangerous to ride at any great speed.
Fahrradmanufaktur TX-400 looks good, but I can't see them as frame only anywhere. Thorn Sherpa would probably work. Surly can fuck off with their pricing and silly dropouts.
