As others have said, it depends on wheels and conditions you'll be riding. If its your nice weather go fast bike, I'd be inclined to go rim breaks. They're lighter and you have a much bigger range of wheels and tires to choose from for racing

I was in the same situation last year with my No22. I had the option of doing a Reactor or getting one of the first of the new disc Aurora (this was before that bike was announced), and chose the rim brakes. I don't regret it on my nice day, go fast bike which is what it sounds like you're looking for. Carbon braking on new rims is really good in the dry, and not absolutely deadly if you get a quick bit of rain while you're out. If you have other and disc bikes in your stable, I'd go rim.

Granted for me, my next "all day/all weather" bike will definitely be disc, but it sounds like you're looking for a go fast.
