My reason for going with hybrid on a recent roll out - better failure cases.
I'd rather do native, for the unified admin, but if the router part crashes in native, the whole box dies or reloads. In hybrid, the switch still runs and layer 3 can be rerouted via HSRP etc.
Also, the redundant sup failover is not as neat yet in native...

What is the general feeling from those running 65XXs in productionregarding Hybrid CatOS/IOS or Native IOS?
That depends on if you're using the device primarily for L2 or for L3. Ifit's an L3 box, Hybrid requires twice as much configuration and managementto accomplish the same thing. OTOH, Native is a bit clunky if you have alarge number of L2 ports.Cisco's desire is that all customers migrate to Native, and already manyfeatures and hardware upgrades are not available in Hybrid.S
