My 5 cents are that I would definitely go hydro, at least for the front brake, for the rear I don't know really (the break surface on my rear pads for my commuter has been non-existent for the last 5 months and the front brake alone has been enough for me, this with two kids and bridges on my route).
If you choose to add a rear brake bridge you'll lose some clearance, but maybe you would need a bridge for mudguards anyway.
Going single speed can always be achieved via an Eno hub, ie I maybe wouldn't go sliding dropouts or EBB if I didn't really planned on doing so alot.
