Hybrid is great for SEO out of the box, I don't use any SEO plugins with it, it has all you need built in.

I will say its is a bit different working with frameworks/child themes but it has many advantages once you get your head around the differences in the way it works.

Author support for Hybrid is outstanding and the $25 yr for access to the support forums and over 30 tutorials is an excellent value.
