I've always had trailer brakes on the car trailer, horse trailer and
boat trailers. Adjusted properly with the controller, they put little
or no extra stopping capability requirement on the tow vehicle. Surge
brakes on boat trailers are a little "iffy" though.

Brakes on boat trailers are iffy no matter what. If you are dunking
them in salt water, they don't last very long.

I bought my old trailer new and ordered it with stainless steel disk
rotors knowing that it was going to be used in salt water. I sold it
after 5 years and the brakes were still doing well. It was always
reassuring to feel them kick in after that heart stopping little pause
after you hit the brake pedal.
