I'd just buy the Rockhopper, run the Tektro brakes, see how you get on, then upgrade when they're shot or you need new pads. tbh, although people say the Tektro ones are shit, it depends what they're used to. If you aren't used to anything disc or hydraulic, they will seem amazing.

If by pritty much anything will work on them you mean you can just buy new calipers and keep the disks? You would be rong. The disk and calipers all have different brakeing surfaces and depths and the disks then selfs have different widths and sizes just as they have on cars

However if you ment buy the disk and calipers and the pritty much deffo will fit? Then you would be right
You can get adapters to fit 99% of brakes to any any every bike
And when you buy them it is a case on unbolting and rebolting
Makeing sure to use a tourque wrench on the disk bolts!!
Haha

EDIT: also i like your idea of waiting till they get fecked then change them
Might aswell get your moneys worth mate. Although saying that you might be able to get a bit of a deal if you buy them then and there. You never know
