Once adequate discovery or other sharing of information has occurred, it is very worthwhile to mediate because the effort to resolve is positive as compared to trying to out prove the other side(s); you will probably even learn more about your case, bad and good; and, during the mediation you can continually evaluate with good information whether settlement is preferable to a trial or arbitration.
