Mecanum or Swerve?

During the offseason this year, my team has discussed developing swerve drive, but after seeing a number of teams use mecanum with great sucess, I am torn between the two. Mecanum seems simpler and lighter, while swerve seems to give better control and more pushing power/resistance to being pushed. What are the experiences of the rest of the FRC world?
