I'm not convinced. The points you raise (availability, ease of rebuilding, which clutch to use) don't really have much to do with the transmission itself.

Assume you have a good GSR YS1 cable tranny in front of you with a good hydro B16 tranny, and assume for the purposes of this comparison that the gearsets are identical. Also assume that the clutch actuation process is irrelevant. Why is the hydro transmission a better choice?
