Here's what I've found, if you use the trailer at least monthly and weekly is better, then hydraulic brakes are fine. For heavy use trailers they may have an advantage in reliability. But if the trailer sits much the hydraulic type tend to rust up and quit working. The repair cost is much higher for hydraulic. I only built a couple trailers over 30 years with hydraulic brakes, but I changed many from hyd. to electric because the customers we unhappy. Never changed an electric to hyd that I can remember. If you are going to pull one trailer with several tow vehicles then surge brakes can be a good idea, especially if the tow vehicles are cars that make it hard to install controllers. But if you're going to pull with a single vehicle, especially a pickup, or if the trailer will sit for longer periods I say stick with electric.
