I'm way more familiar with the MTB brakes.. do the road brakes have the same stereotypical feel differences:
Shimano - more initial grab, less progressive feel
SRAM - less initial grab, more progressive feel
I am partial to the SRAM style feel on MTB but for braking from the hoods I could see liking Shimano's feel. But do they even feel that way on the road? Last time I tried Shimano hydraulic road was 8 years ago and the bike was brand new but clearly needed brake service so didn't feel good. I don't think I've ever tried SRAM road hydraulic.
