I prefer mechanical purely for the aftermarket support in case something goes wrong. Repair/replacing an electronic component will be a huge pita.

How so? I've broken wires, derailleurs ect. and it's not any harder of a fix than mechanical. The only downside might be repairing out on the road but you don't have any cables to snap like mechanical so that's less likely to happen anyway.
