Surge brakes work good on hopper wagons if they don't rust up. I don't think DOT will allow the use of surge brakes on any new trailer. The main problem people have with electric brakes is the wire connections. The first thing I do on any wire connection is to solder them. Also I run a ground wire from the trailer plug to the ground wire for the brakes and every light on the trailer.
