They may not be as fast, but shave a lot of your weight compared to pneumatics.
You could just put on a large plastic tank and just refill it before each match Pneumatic over servo shifting is preferred, but 27 has had great success with servos. Try out both, but most teams end up using pneumatics for shifting and wouldn't ever do anything else.
