cordless is nice when you have no power, or have to turn power off. Corded there is no need to recharge any batteries, no down time for charging if you drain one before the other is charged. If you have to be mobile, or are working on a lift or crawling around somewhere cords are a pain. I have cordless and its perfect for household stuff and small to midsized projects. I definitely like the idea of a cordless drill with a cord option. Why not...
Running power up the scissor lift would be the main issue. Don't know how high up on a scissor lift you'll be, but unless the lift has a plug on it, you'll probably need a lot of extension cords.
I am not too familiar with the accomodations of lifts. Can they provide 120v on the platform? If so thats not that bad. Otherwise I'd run the cord up with plenty of slack at the top and tie it off so the hanging weight of the cord isn't constantly pulling on your drill.
