Yes Ford Hydraulics where a little slow until the -010 series but have very few problems.

How hard it is to replace brakes is irrelevant, the question should be how good are the brakes and how well do they hold up.
The inboard wet disc brakes on 4000 and larger Fords is a excellent braking system that will last for thousands of hours.

For snow removable I'd want something with a cab like a 5610 or 6610 but that adds a good bit to the price, cab also makes them harder to work on.
