Shimano hydraulic brakes have, by a landslide, required far less work and maintenance than any disc brake I’ve used. Most have been set and forget requiring only new pads. SRAM dot requires my attention at least once a year. Still better than cable actuated which requires constant adjustment as the pads wear, something I felt I was doing nearly every ride on my mountain bikes at times. The lever pull never felt as good after initial setup. Hydro feels the same every time I squeeze the levers.
I would only use a cable actuated disc brake if i had no hydraulic option.
