I understand if you swim in the pond you don't want Tiger trout. I have been told they are nuts and will bite you.

Wow, I had not heard that before. For me, a con of Brown Trout is they can be hard to catch - especially the bigger they get.

I have my own theory about the hybrid trout. I THINK they are more durable than a pure trout due to hybrid vigor. If you have borderline conditions for a month or so in the summer that would kill a pure trout a hybrid trout could possibly push through and survive.

Winter 2018/2019 my Brook Trout all died and my Splake survived and I had much worse than just "borderline" conditions. I am planning on stocking more Brookies and some Tigers so still ongoing testing.
