Hydrolic give better modulation and work better when looked after. Mechanical are less likely to be destroyed in a game, and if they are will be easier to find replacements/spares by court.
If you've got two sets of hydro's put one on the bike and carry the other with you where ever you go, plus all the tools to replace levers, hose, do a bleed etc. and of course fluid.
There are some hydro users, but BB7's are probably the disc brake of choice currently.
