personally, if you can't the hy/rd working and a good mechanic shouldn't have trouble if they're functional, I'd go with juin tech. They're similar to the hy/rd in that they're a cable pull hydraulic. However the pads don't auto adjust as they wear, just like any of the cable pull brakes you have to adjust the pads as they thin, but I find the stopping power to be nearly as good as full hydraulic road brakes. That's based on having 105 hydraulics, chorus hydraulics, and juin tech set up with 4700 tiagra shifters.
