Can't say much about the Hydrocoatings as i have never used it. But Duracoating on the other hand i have and was not impressed with the durability.Started using Cerakote last year after attending a class at NIC,snd so far the results have been excellent.
The rifles and shotguns i have coated so far are used for hunting in rough terrain from horse back and ATV's,holding up very well.
The folks at NIC are really good to deal with as well.
