Most likely, the issue is that ultrasonic audio is much more likely to be affective of people who have deafness. It depends on what specific type of deafness is being experienced, but in general, ultrasonic audio is what works best foe people who have to deal with deafness.
Hybrid being "the most powerful" will only apply to people who have typical hearing, because the typical person can clearly register both the subliminal input of the masked (volume differenced) and the ultrasonic (pitch differenced) subliminal audio. This doubles the input, and thus produces more impact, which is why we say it "has more power". But "MOAR POWER!!!!11!11!!!!1!!" isn't the goal. More power is only useful until you find peak useful power. After that it is just as undesirable as not enough power. Case in point: try feeding your computer even just two or three times the electrical power per unit of time and see what happens.
Each format has a different "level of power", roughly speaking, but that "level of power" can be best for different circumstances. People of different personality types may have different responses to a speciffic level of "perceptory pressure". Low perceptory pressure (Masked format) works well for people who dislike "being told what to do", while it fails miserably for those who must deal with most forms of deafness because the format is incompatible with being heard reliably.
Moderate perceptory pressure (Ultrasonic) works best for the majority of people because it has the widest range of volume adjustment (which is mostly what creates perceptory pressure) and is the most convenient to use. It is also the format that is best for people who must deal with deafness.
High perceptory pressure (Hybrid, or loud ultrasonic) works well for people who are agreeable to being given instructions forcefully. For people who dislike "being told what to do", it will typically produce the worst end results because they respond by fighting it. It can work for people who deal with deafness, because of the ultrasonic format, but the masked format is almost always going to go un-used.
More power us useless if it doesn't achieve the end goal.
So I suggest you start off with and use ultrasonic format.
