Disc brakes and drum brakes.
Mechanical disc brakes.
The Dyno mountain bike with full suspension and disc brakes is called "Fierce" I had one myself. It was an amazing bike!
It's no trouble at all using supposedly rim brake rims with disc brakes, nothing will happen because of that. But your hubs has to be able to take a brake rotor and your fork/frame has to be able to take a brake caliper if you want to put disc brakes on your bike.
Not worth the effort and expense
Depends on how far you want to take it, and what kind of bike it is. The most common type of light weight bike is probably a road bike, and they are generally equipped with caliper rim brakes, with single-pivot being the lightest design available. But there are also light weight MTBs, and they generally run disc brakes. A MTB for flat terrain can still have straight-pull brakes(v-brakes), which is a kind of rim brake too. They can still be lighter than disc brakes although braking isn't quite as good.

A brake in which the friction is caused by a set of pads that press against a rotating disk.Disc brakes on a bicycle are brakes that slow the bike by acting on a disk that is mounted on the hub of the weel. This is different from standard brakes.

THOSE ARE DISC BRAKES
Wagonners, pickups, and the Jeepster had disc brakes in 1972. The CJ did not get disc brakes until 1977.
Better isn't that simple, it depends on your priorities. Hydraulic disc brakes with big rotors are most powerful, followed by hydraulic rim brakes. Lightest are V-brakes (rim) brakes. Least maintenance are drum/roller brakes.
