Electric or hydraulic - Which is best?

[TXFlyGuy]

Any thoughts on propeller design? Electric or hydraulic constant speed...which is better? Why?

The engine will be a V6, around 300 hp. A T-51 airframe. Aerobatic at +6 / -4.

Is the PSRU even capable of supporting a hydraulic prop???

Electric won't work well for aerobatics... too slow to respond.

As stated before, the hydraulic is typically better for most applications.
Electrics are normally used where hydraulics are not available.
