The best "mechanical" solution, in my opinion was the old, full mechanical brake controllers that you had to plumb into the brake lines. Kind of a pain to get hooked up, but I never had one go bad. I still have one on my 83 Blazer and it's always worked perfect.

Surge-brakes, as you describe, have been around forever and have their plusses and minuses. In many places, they are not allowed over a certain weight-class. And I guess, to be technical, they also employ some electronics to over-ride the braking action when backing up (at least some do).
