One thing I forgot to mention- with hydro brakes and road levers you really want as big a "horn" as possible, as it's quite easy to brake so hard that you start to slip over/off the hoods.
The new SRAM Red hyrdo levers have a nice big hood, I suspect both to fit the reservoir and for this reason.
My SRAM Apex hoods are to be honest a bit small- bumps in the road and heavy braking mean that you need to hold on hard, or risk losing your grip.
I'd be a bit concerned about those integrated levers not providing enough in the way of a hood to grab hold of.
Campag, with their Oast house/Batmans ears hoods might be a good bet.
