You really shouldn't listen to all they hype.
I've built hybrids that ROCK!!!! And I've built an ovalport 3L.
There are almost no hybrids that have failed, I can only think of one they did and could possibly be an arguing point.
I don't think Drainback is really the issue anyone is making out. It is a possibility but it isn't really an ISSUE.
Other than that, you do need to know how to do the porting and other work yourself for the hybrid to be a viable option. If not, then port matching the Ovalport is the best way to go.
Believe me, it is easier to do the portmatch and throw in the SVT cams then to Rig everything for a straight 3L drop in.
Trust me, portmatching for the ovalport is not Hard.
