Meh. Have hydraulics on my mtbs. They stop nice - which is a good thing as they also require some love. Bleeding. Replacing seals. Fixing sticky pads. Even trimming my own hoses is a pain compared to sniping a cable.
Cross - you don't really need to stop that much. But you still have to deal with the downsides hydraulics can throw your way. If you have a paid mechanic then by all means you should ride them - but for a weekend warrior no thanks.
