BB7's are the devils work (road version, MTB version is fine).
Some info:
Shimano
http://si.shimano.com/php/download.p...008-00-ENG.pdf
Shimano disc brake systems are not compatible with tandem bicycles.
Because tandem bicycles have a high overall weight, the load on the brake system increases during brake operation. If hydraulic disc brakes are used with tandem bicycles, the oil temperature will become too high and vapor locks or ruptures in the brake hoses may occur, and this will cause the brakes to fail.

The HYRD brake system is an open hydraulic brake designed for
use on single rider bicycles.

I couldn't find anything on SRAM's site on weight limits or exclusions for tandems on the SRAM website.
