If it were me, I'd determine which force is greater to decide what type of axle to go with.
for me Thru axle choice is not about rotational force from braking.

Thru axle is simply for a stiffer fork, a more responsive fork to input from the bars, and a better feed back from the wheel to the fork to the bars to my hands. Which = a Much greater enjoyment. QR is like driving a car with worn out and loose tie rods.

I am the one steering, I'd like to be in control of that.
