That may have depended on which mecanums you used.
What I would say is from a repair standpoint, mecanums will be quite a bit easier. I am a huge fan of treads, but replacing them is tricky enough that I wouldn't consider using them unless you had a really good reason. There are ways to do it quickly, for example slotting the frame, but you have to have confidence in your ability to fabricate it properly. Mecanums are nice because if you have a problem with one, it is a self contained module. You can pull one off and pop a replacement in much faster than with a tread system.
My question is if you were debating treads, why not reasses the merit of the standard 6WD system? It seems like you are debating highly mobile vs. heavy and slow.
