I like them both, so what I do is keep the original mechanical pump and install an electric pump as a backup. It saved my bacon one time when I was in heavy interstate traffic and my engine died. Thank goodness I had the presence of mind to reach down a flip the electric pump switch since I was in the fast lane at the time.
Electric pumps are also helpful for priming the float bowl in trucks that are not driven often.
