how have peoples experiances been with hydraulic clutches? Are they hard to set up with the whole bleeding lines thing. I have bled brake lines before is it any harder?

They're not hard to setup at all. The only time you would ever have to bleed it is if you need to remove the cable for some reason. People usually remove the plastic line that it comes with and upgrade to a stainless steel braided line for more durability. I avoided all this by carefully routing and securing the plastic line to the right side of my frame, thus avoiding the headers.

You can either do that, which is much easier and cheaper in my opinion, or you can order one with a braided stainless steel line for an additional fee. I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever with my setup. Just make sure to zip tie some rubber hose halves to any part of the frame that the line may contact to prevent it from rubbing through the plastic line.
