How do you want to play the game? It doesn't matter which build can grow you faster past the t3 level if you have to spend a ton of gold afterwards to convert to the build you want to play with. Depending on your style and activity each build will have some big pros and cons. If you have the time it's easier to discuss in pm what build might be best for you
My fav Hansels are losing its luster in the atk department since we looking at 7,8mil def stats rather than previous 3,4mil with t5 now. hybrid hitter like me enjoy the same range of targets as hansels but hybrids can hit a higher def stats range. Big t5 hansels is now more of a liability than asset in wars. Takes only small hansel or hybrid to hit big t5 hansel. Leak big time if inactive. And we dun need 4mil spy atk to ass or steal most hitters builds. U shd be skipping lb and let another lb do the job in the first place. Previously t4 hybrids hv restricted def capabilities against hitter builds unless u can be active enough to ffp all the way. With t5 and the bigger stats gap u find in wars, I'll say hybrid are 1 notch up with more meat options. So my personal opinion is go hybrid hitter...
