A hydraulic clutch is just the method in which the clutch is operated. Cable operated is the type on a standard rs turbo.

A paddle clutch is a type of clutch, usually with 4 or 6 paddles on the friction plate rather than a circular friction plate.

I've been considering one of these for a low power ZT I'm building...

They also do a stage 2 and 3 for bigger power applications, all very reasonably priced!

I'm putting an ap 4 paddle clutch in with standard luk cover plate. Meant to handle well over 200bhp and you don't need to do the mk5 escort pedal mod
