Suspect we are not getting all the info here. I won't second-guess the SAS crew, 'cos all of them I've met are excellent drivers.
From JUST the info originally posted, umm, all things considered, I think I would rather take a hyd problem on the MD-80 into the air from 200kph (120-ish kts), than stop with the brakes, spoilers, reversers in an unknown condition. Brakes and reversers have accumulators, but who knows? The 80's flt control system is straight from the Wright Brothers era and does not require hyd pressure except for roll spoilers,elevator-power at extreme AOA, and normal rudder; leave flaps and slats where they are and gear extended whilst you fly out to somewhere safe and think it through.
However, I'm not aware of the runway length, conditions, wind, temp, warnings on the flightdeck, aircraft wt, etc, so if no bent metal: no probs.
