I have not had an ERA but I have had inboard jag set up on a CCX. Servicing was easy as the calipers I used were the type with the pin at the top that held in the pads. Remove the wheel and a brake pad change was minutes, however changing discs took about an hour per side. That said, choose the right caliper and inboard are fine for these cars.
If $ is no object, go for the outboard. Why? Well why not......

Tim, that might be a smart alternative. Rick Lake described changing the pads on his standard rear through the little trap door that ERA gives you and it sounded pretty rough. He has an older car though, so maybe it has improved. A pin at the top of the caliper sounds like a really smart idea if you opt for the inboard rear.
I have the same as Rick has and the Girling caliper with the pin at the top is cake. Removing the seats is the only PIA and a minor one at that. I've installed thread certs on the access panel with machine screws and that is cake too. I have changed pads 4 times and serviced the e-brake through there.

That's equivalent to a few tanks of gas. There is no reason not to go with outboard braked rear -- the standard rear is almost approaching the "penny wise, pound foolish" idiom.
