I hope the OP is able to sift through the clutter and pick out the reasoned, evidence-based data and ignore the baseless, rumor-based opinions.

I know I haven't built or driven a swerve but in the comparisons people are making I want to make it clear that the generalization that pushing tank with mecanum is not viable is incorrect. By that metric it is not universally always as inferior to swerve as many seem to think. And I want to make it clear I know this from actually haven driven one in a competition against other tank drive robots.
