I use mechanical disc brakes on my Diverge. They are Tektros and they are pretty shit but I have survived using them for the last four years including riding the Traka for the last two years which has some pretty long, fast descents.
They do require regular attention, mainly winding the non-moving pad closer to the disc to ensure you can apply a decent amount of power to the disc surface.
