Good choice, that's what I got in matte black. I posted pics on the hybrid picture thread. The hydro brakes shouldn't require to much maintenance in fact I believe they are self adjusting, something you'll have to do with mech discs. Yes bleeding can be a pain but you don't do that often and the Kona Tektro Draco use mineral oil which is not caustic and is non-toxic.
