Discs look rad and don't wear your rims.
HHSB reasoning aside they work in all conditions, are powerful and don't wear your rims. Pads last for ages as well.
What's difficult to find? carbon cross forks with disc mounts, any disc compatible front hub built into a wheel, and a brake.

If you're on a budget look out for a front wheel or even forks off a disc'd up hybrid ont bay or something, fair few hybrids are sold with discs these days.
