For hydro brakes considering the housing or fluid doesn't have to be replaced very often it is less there (vs housing and cables) Pads and rotors last a long time as long as you take care of them and don't wack your rotor into a curb or something. bleeding is not too difficult and you can get fluid fairly cheap that will last a long time (make sure you get the correct kind and bleed kit for the brakes you have) watch youtube videos on bleeding your type of brake
