Flat mount is the future, I'm surprised that M8000 doesn't cater for it yet, but that definitely is something you should probably spec.
I know the first gen of Ultegra used MTB calipers, but I'm not sure if they've changed things with the new set, but you should be okay with some RS685 calipers, but best to check that with more knowledgeable people

Flat mount frame / fork can be adapted to take a PM caliper
Dunno about mix and matching - expensive hassle.
Why not start a current projects thread

So folks, another question, you will be sick of me by the end of my project... (might be better to ask in the disc brakes thread, but seems it's the same bunch of people anyhow...)
Can Shimano road bike parts be mixed with MTB parts? Reason for asking is that I didn't even know there are different types of disc brake mounts and I like the look of the flat mount but I am running 1 X system with flat bars so by default it'd be post mount.
Can I use a set of ultegra calipers witht the M8000 parts for example?
