Unless I had a very stringent draft limitation, I would not want leeboards on a mid-size cruising boat. I wouldn't even want a centerboard. I prefer to keep things as simple as possible, and on Chesapeake Bay I can afford (draft-wise) the luxury of a moderate draft, ballasted, fixed fin keel. But I suppose if I owned waterfront lacking deepwater dockage, I might explore the options...

How does that Brewer design incorporate the ballast? Any specs available on LPS?
