First off, both types of rakes are "side delivery."
The rolling bar rakes are driven by the wheels and absolutely should NOT be in contact with the ground normally. Of course there are exceptions where it can't be avoided like ruts or extremely uneven ground.
Very few bar rakes have hydraulic anything, at least around here. We just "set and forget" the height. I don't think we've touched the height setting on the rake in years.
You can get them with hydraulic lift and/or hydraulic drive, but the old fashioned crank lift and ground drive work just fine.
Rubber teeth suck. Avoid them, especially if you're looking at rusty old rakes that sit outside. The rubber deteriorates and the teeth fall off for looking at them wrong. Metal teeth are much more durable.
New Holland makes the best roller bar rake, but you won't buy one cheap unless it is almost total junk. Other brands work but they are not as heavily built, and may not work well in heavy hay.
