From a design and build perspective, H-drive is by far more complicated than
mecanum drive.

PLEASE read the advice posted by experienced Chief Delphi members. If your team has not yet designed and built a holonomic drive system, week 1 of build season is not an ideal time to start.
In my experience, a field-centric holonomic drive is the easiest robot to learn to drive. Mecanum provides a good trade-off between complexity (2 extra gearboxes, a bit of learning to program) for increased maneuverability. It's also the closest you'll get to a COTS solution. Any other drive really needs to be developed in the off-season.
