I am not an expert, but I would only use surge breaks on a boat trailer or a trailer I could not convert to electric easily. Here near the ocean, the only people I know of that have surge brakes are folks who have boat trailers that get dunked in salt water.
I have driven both, and surge brakes are "slower" to activate. One time my father who had an F250 set up for hauling told me his 6k# boat and trailer seemed to push that truck around with surge brakes at times... to the point of being scary in traffic.
So, in Ontario you pay extra for registration, etc with electric brake trailers?
