If your still taking suggestions for hook locations, (if you haven't already) please make the hook system able to plug in to important queries such as $posts for showthread.
Im aiming to make my hack(s) as optimised as possible, and this includes plugging into existing queries instead of making my own (where possible), so having the ability to plug into such queries would be a tremendous help
This would probably be better handled by the Data Managers. That is what they are there for. Hooks are places where you can call your own custom code from within vBulletin without actually modifying the vBulletin Code. Different technologies for different purposes.

Oh. I don't really know what the Data Managers are, maybe I skipped that part of the vBcom post.
Call it hooks, Data Managers or Cookie Crumbs for all I care, as long as it works

The announcement makes it seem like data managers are used for saving data, not querying for data.
I don't know much about it, but what I have seen of it so far looked quite confusing. The word "This" seemed very popular ......
The description of 3.5.0 looks nice, but sounds like virtually all hacks will have to be re-done for this new version and it's "Hooks & Plugins".
I also don't quite understand the theory of these. It sounds like they will allow you to "insert" code at various points, but many hacks don't just insert code, they actually change existing code, so how will this work ?

But, you won't have to again for sometime, as long as you make some use of the plugins system.
Think about it, much less rehacking, no more inserting custom templates every upgrade...
