Yeah, the disc would be better for snowy and wet conditions. I thought of that too but I don't have any trouble with my V-brakes using the Aztec pads.
The other concern I had was that suspension forks are all about 2 in. longer from the dropout to the bottom of the crown as compared to rigid. I think there is some sit in sag on the front that brings it down close to the rigid but not sure yet. I just hope it doesn't throw off the geometry of the front end.
