Things I like about disc brakes:
- Mountains hold less fear
- Work in wet and gritty conditions without losing braking power
- That river path near Twickenham can still be ridden through without a care for the diminished braking afterwards
- Allows for wider rims, tyres and support for those in the frame as all clearance issues are solved
It's what kept the Serotta from being truly 4 season, and on reflection is why I frequently chose to ride the Robin Mather... not for the mudguards or hub gears, but for the discs.
And if I'm going to go disc, I'm going to go hydraulic.
Hell, if I could throw some Hope mountain bike stuff on there I probably would (could, but I'm thinking long-term support, compatibility with the levers, etc and it's just simpler to say Shimano for everything).

I have both hydro and ceramic open pros. I would always choose hydros for better stopping, wet wether predictability and lower hand fatigue.

David personally I would drop the hydro.
If required.
Good rim brakes will be just as good as hydro discs. My ceramic open pros with pads were amazing.
