Drums also always have shoe-to-drum contact if they are properly adjusted. I think they have a bit less parascitic than discs though.

Every automaker has converted to disc brakes, and if you drive a new truck with 4-wheel discs you will want them too, hehe. Of course drums aren't too bad when properly maintained and upgraded
