All NA hydro clutches (mainly the RS, Forester and some Legacys) use the reversed slave cylinder. What I can't tell you without looking is if your motor has the threaded bosses where it would mount, or if it's on the motor or transmission in the NA hydro setups.
I'm just recommending trying to keep the hydro because in my experience, it's better. Not that the cable system doesn't work at all. The hydro system would meet your goal of factory reliability plus simple future repairs or replacements.
