You wanna have a look at my disc brakes? :)
I'm building up my next bike. It's supposed to be a travel bike so was going to go with spyres as I don't want to fiddle too much while in the middle of nowhere.
Dura-Ace 9000 compressionless might be a good compromise between Jagwires and Yokozuna?

My understanding that the Dura-Ace 9000 housing is a low compression housing on account that it use helical strain construction (Jagwire use linear strain with kelvar to prevent it from splitting under compression).
Because it's designed to work with their rims brakes, a compressionless housing would mean that the rims brake will be more on/off than offering a good range of modulation.

I'd look into the Juin Tech R1, basically like a HY/RD but without the auto adjust for wear, if the pads travel get too much, just turn the barrier.

They are louder than resin pads, granted, but I have not had one squealing in my experiences, they're more likely to squeal in the wet, but die down once moisture got burn off the rotors.
I'm afraid I cannot comment on what the LBS said as it is not my place to do so, especially the fact I have no idea how it set up without looking at it.
As for everyone went disc brake mad, I think a lots of company simply doesn't realised it need to be carefully build for road bike, for instance when road disc appeared 10 years ago, they use normal brakes housing which made brakes like the Avid BB7s felt horribly spongy, now with decent compressionless housing like the Yokozuna Reaction, they felt massively sharper and bite better.
