Hybrids don't need to worry about matching implements - they can use the implements of both classes on all their powers
What's the best guide to good hybrid choices?

Probably (unless you have a very old version of CB). When choosing your class look carefully. It's the 5th row in the 3rd block.

I tried to make a druid/shaman hybrid. I think it's the most complicated 4e character possible. Just ridiculously tricky.
Looks like fun to play!

Btw, unless I'm mistaken, hybrids are seriously bugged in the CB right now with respect to power replacement. You can never swap out a power from a class you only have one power for. So unclear...
Say you have a barb|sorc
1. Enc Sorc power
3. Enc Barb Power
7. Enc Barb Power
13. You can only switch out your barb powers. Worse, you can't switch one out for a sorc power.
This should hopefully be fixed early next month.

Yes, it is. There isn't anything specific about throwing something in one hand and then switching to a two-handed melee weapon for the second half of the power. However, the rule for fighter powers that require one hand free makes a strong case you aren't intended to do that(If the power requires one hand to be free, it must be free for the entire power, or until that hand is used in the power, for example to make a grab.).
Edit: Bah, forgot to mention that rule is in MP2.
I tried a couple of hybrid build myself:
1. Druid/avenger: at first the idea was to be a sticky isolating avenger that would then wild shape to slap the other silly, but it got transformed along the way to take only implement power that could be used up close. Surprisingly fun.
2. Druid/invoker: A true invoker of Chauntea, with summon and some fireseed mixed in. Lots of controller effect.
3. Sorcerer/Paladin: Plate-wearing fire-breathing machine. Lacking in the true damage department but still iconic enough to be fun. Dragonborn of course. Needs to be higher level (paragon hybrid) to stop being such a wuss though.

Yeah, I just started in LFR a Druid|Warden/Shaman, which I've had fun with. In a lot of ways it simply resembles an old-school druid, in that it sorta does everything: wild shape, companion, healing, summoning, etc. Economy of actions keeps things balanced, of course, but it is a lot of fun being so adaptive for whatever the party needs.
