For sports you indeed probably want the better breaking power and redundancy, but for everyday city use your hand brakes are way more likely to break than the pedal one, they can go years without maintenance as they are not exposed to the conditions. Speeds are also generally not that high so even if you screw up (which rarely happens, even in icy conditions), you can recover just fine.
