The L3130 may be bigger than you want but I mow an 16 deg slope on a regular basis. The top of my drive has a 20-21 degree slope(not percent) that has to get mowed occasionaly. The tiltmeter bounces past 25 deg. Plenty of pucker factor but its stable and I go slow. I have R4's at the widest setting.
You need a vehicle, tractor or otherwise, that is safe on your slopes and that you feel comfortable with.
As far as HST vs gear, the HST is simpler to operate. Does simpler mean safer? I'll leave that to the individual to decide. Personaly I think the answer comes down to productivity in a particular application. IMO, your dictates the HST.
