Everyone seems to be either sticking with cables to keep the cost down or going with discs.

I just ordered the SRAM S700 10sp integrated hydraulic levers/calipers, since the price has dropped to under $320/pr, shipped. Yes, includes the hydro rim calipers.

Not part of any recalled inventory, but yet to show their merit. For better and for worse in terms of "speeds", these should be more robust in terms of shifting performance since SRAM's 10 and 11s derailers have the same actuation ratio, with slightly longer cable travel than Shimano. Also the matter of not having to use an 11s-compatible wheel/hub.
If I do at some point buy carbon-rimmed wheels, I believe the {{improved brake modulation}} of these calipers will make up for loss of same resulting from the carbon rim surfaces, but for now it is going to make for an interesting road test period using my new 1250g alloy clincher wheelset.
