2017 Drive Train

There's obviously a lot of debate surrounding which drive trains can serve what purposes. This thread is created to centralize this discussion to provide easier access to all teams.

One of the more uncommon drive systems which still proves useful is the h-drive. This system has omnis on all corners, with a central omni to provide lateral movement. Our team has thrown around the idea of using h-drive as a less complicated mechanum system. The movement is near-identical to mechanum and debatably easier to build. This of course being in contrast to using tank drive (reliable and simple). Can we get some insight?
