Disc brakes have more stopping power and are easier to maintain, but with
that said, there isn't much need to change to disc brakes on the trailer.
Drum brakes supply sufficient stopping power for the load they are expected
to carry with the Rhodes.  And with the number of times you will ever end up
changing the brakes on the trailer yourself, the maintenance side of it is
unimportant (other than to the guy in the shop).

He is either recommending you change the brakes to disc brakes because he
wants the additional money from the sale, or he really hates working on drum
brakes (I wouldn't blame him much).  Either way, it's an added expense that
really doesn't do anything for you.
