I do my mums in coco, but I prefer NFT for the main grow, mainly because there's so little to get rid of afterwards.. just stems and a mat of roots.
I have done some main grows in coco, and it would definitely be my substrate of choice if I were inclined to change my methods.
Have you got a garden? You know you can reuse coco a number of times before disposing of it (it actually ages better with time). All my coco gets recycled as top-dressing, mulch or soil mix - roots and all. It's good stuff.
NFT is quicker, but. You should get better yields with it. Like my cars, I don't mind sacrificing a bit of speed for reliability.
