Yeah, I only use Hydro for the last 100m to offset any lag caused by my system / kraken.
Does ORDA do rendevous? Still having a hell of a time doing it manually.

ORDA can fly you in if you are in visual range (possibly from further out, I forget now), and mechjeb can do timed launches to put you close together

Wait... Hydrojeb Im guessing is MEchJeb for docking? And ORDA is now updated to work with the new docking system?? Do it manually... so much more fun that way :)

HydroJeb does a couple of things, mostly around RCS stuff. Some of it is automated, some of it is not. I only keep it around for the RCS throttle stuff now.
ORDA does a lot of things useful for space navigation in general, it also has a semi auto docking system (in addition to the fully auto one) that will just keep you correctly oriented with the target.
Me I use the low attraction docking port, which makes docking very tricky, you need to be exactly dead on (within a few milimeters and a couple of degrees rotation), no more getting sucked together from pretty far off. Lazor docking cam also helps a huge amount for that if I am doing it manually (and it doesn't need any special parts or targets attached, just docking ports), otherwise ORDA will nail it every time on auto.
As for doing it manually. Been there, done that countless times (and not just in this game). I find docking kind of tedious (as with most manual control tasks). Now I tend to play to do complex stuff, like station building, or colonizing. In my AAR I have been tending to do it more manual style.
