Based on what? The only circumstance where it may be beneficial is during autocrossing so the brakes cool quicker, but even then, some serious autocrossers have even switched to drums to save weight.

As far as being easier to work on, its true, but the rear brakes only do about 10%-15% of the braking. My neon has 85,000 miles on it and have yet to adjust or replace the brakes. I know people who have over 150,000 miles on their factory drums.
