You can do either one, though by doing a smaller diesel with electric assist, you'll need more sophisticated controls (i.e. throttle for ICE, throttle/regen for electric), and a more sophisticated transmission.
I don't know of any hydraulic hybrid components that are readily available to the consumer.
