I need to purchase brakes for our new trailer. Recommendations (i.e., electric, hydraulic, etc.)?

If you will be trailering frequently and/or will have the trailer long term, (EOH) electric over hydraulic seems to be the way to go.

Thanks for the responses. I'll only be using the trailer twice a year, put in and haul out, about 30 miles each way.
