Default Hydraulic Tilton clutch

Hi there.
I am going to fit a Tilton triple plates clutch to my car.
Do you think that it is necessary to go hydraulic or could I stick to the original mechanical linkages. Less problems I would think over hydraulic, but??
Thanks in advance.

36 vintage races in the car below with factory clutch linkage and a triple disc clutch, you will need a clutch stop so you don`t push your triple disc over center.
