For 2015, quick release will continue to dominate. Thru-axles will eventually become the standard on disc-equipped road bikes where added stiffness is an essential part of the marketing, also the added safety at higher speeds.
Choose the prettiest hub and go either way.
Shimano di2 hydro would be sweet for an impressive build, but the reality is that in the world of custom bikes S&S couplers are also quite popular. Hydraulic brakes, unfortunately, can't be used for such application. At that point, I wouldn't kick out of bed di2 with gold
Another trend: Cables will disappear either by having everything internally wired within the frame or by wireless technology. Electronic shifting is quickly taking us in that direction.
The hydro tube in the fork is beautiful.
Remove the hoods, place buttons on the handlebar and integrate the hydro system under the bar tape.
Boom!!! A track bike that shifts. No hoods. Hidden brake "levers"
