They last about the same, but pads are much easier to replace than shoes and they seat faster. The only advantage of drums is they're much cheaper and (usually) don't get wet when traveling.
Drum has a lot of advantages over disk. Two of the biggest is they can apply more braking force and they last longer.

Since it would appear to be too late for a factory option I would run a season or two with what you have. If then you think you will keep the trailer long term then the upgrade is worth it IMO. Just install the disks at the first service in a couple years.
I did a self install last year and it was a huge improvement to go with disks.
