4 pot brakes in theory allow for better modulation, especially with the differing size pistons.

I chose to put some on my road bike though because I don't like SRAM/Avid calipers and moar purple is moar better.

4 pots with same levers/reservoir must also mean less volume displacement at the caliper/less piston travel, correct? Does that mean you get some rubbing from time to time?

Only if the overall surface area of the pistons is greater. The 4 Hope pistons are all smaller than the SRAMS so I'd wager it's very similar.

TBH all disc brakes rub from time to time IME
