We used Advanced Replication and we never happy with it &
I think if you mustn't, you should never consider using Advanced Replication because it has a lot of restrictions,limitations, bad surprises, so on.
But in case of failover site standby database may be more accurate decision, although it has high management cost.
If you ask that what I do if I were you,
I always prefer hardware solution because I think that it is
more trustable.
