Thanks for your input all, this is potentially a tough call with 3 options emerging....
1) Fully commit to cable.
External routing, minimum cable outer (compressionless where used) cable stop locations for minimum cable bend. Then get BB7s or Spyres, decent rotors and pads and work out how to dial them nice.
2) Commit to hydraulic - a spendy solution that ends up with big fugly ergos and 11speed or more...
3) Try cable but keep the door open to hydraulic
Internal routing may compromise cable performance and some day when the smooth lines of an ultegra hydro are at winter-bike kit level make the change...
