Which would mean modern hydraulic systems for descents certainly, the skimpiest lightest calipers (and lighter non-disc wheels) for TT and ascent stages. For most rolling road stages it makes no significant difference.

 The "no significant difference" idea baffles a lot of people.
 

Right.
A typical stage in which one seldom applies the brake, and even for those lightly, would be the same result with any system. Better potential brake force with disc, but then again you carry the extra weight always. There are more important questions.
