I would hope it's not simply tank or arcade. That would kinda defeat the purpose of mecanum.

There do however exist driver interfaces which use a supplemented tank or arcade with mecanum.

For example, you could use the (normally unused) tank joystick X axes for strafe.

Or you could use a second joystick with arcade for strafing.

Or you could use Joystick1 for fwd/rev and strafe right/left, and Joystick2 for turning.
