Depends. Have you done linear strafing in the past? Are your drivers familiar with it? It isn't going to help much if your drivers aren't used to it, especially considering that opposing robots can push you sideways much more easily.
Edit: Also, your drivetrain should probably have been decided upon and built by this point. If it has not, take your kitbot and build a tank drive. Week 4 is not the time to make these sorts of decisions. Source: my team did mecanum last year, and had no idea what we were doing. If you do decide to go this path, send me a PM, because there's a few things you'll need to know.
