Hybrid arms are about as good as you can get, for radius arms anyway. You can get the castor correction built into the arm (as you are aware) which is the pick of the bunch for a lift. (Hybrids, not drop arms)
Adding length to the arms and getting them level or as close to (radius or rear control arms) is an improvement on a few geometries, which can be noticeable on and off road.

Personally I would go the hyperflex for what I like. But it is up to you. If you just tour around and dont do too much difficult stuff, the regular hybrids will suffice. Go the hyperflex if you like to wheel.

My mechanic is about to do the bushes on the old lady... am I about to be ripped off? Should I be buying new Panhard rods instead?!

only if you need to correct diff alignment then an adjustable is you pick. small lifts or no lift it isn't required.
