Currently, as a team, we're trying to decide between using mechs or a swerve system. I happen to be privy towards a swerve system, but it would be our first year using it, so a lot of people are nervous. I think that swerve would give better traction than mechs as well as the ability to have a multi-direction robot, but there are arguments against swerve as well (mainly how complicated it is). I guess I'm just a teensy bit biased
