Your librarian from CD Davis is right. First she is on site and familiar with your set up. She know you and your library.
I teach cataloging and I know the limitations of LCC and other systems. No system works perfectly for every library; we have to make compromises. When using LCC you have the collective brains of all the librarians of LC and other research libraries to help you. Since no one can be an expert in everything, I would chose the systems that I could get the most help and support. The other argument is financial. If you have copy cataloging with a full marc record it is much cheaper to use, then trying to chose your own class numbers.
