Cable is cheaper and it feels so much better. No meshing, just straight engagement.

Hydro - made for smooth engagements.. pretty much just made to make the driver feel more "comfortable". Cables.. well not hating on cables but.. they tend to come loose and/or brake. Other then that.. Its all in how you like the "feel" of it all..

If you have the choice go with the hydro tranny. Spare parts are easier to find.
