Personally I have always driven a standard, and have never needed electric brakes on a trailer. I downshift through the gears which can be rough on the clutch and brakes but high performance parts do hold up longer... Best way to find out how someone drives a trailer is have them drive with you in the back. You can tell when the turn too fast, stop too fast and actually experience a little of what a horse would.. . We used to do that to the newbie drivers! Sometimes we made a rough ride on purpose! LOL
If you have an automatic, I think hauling heavy loads that shift would take a heavy toll on the transmission. But with advancements in technology and the popularity of automatics these days, I'm sure the brakes hanging up are probably not an issue anymore...
I had always been told electric brakes get hung up and end up being more problematic than not..... But that was some years ago too...
