I'm pretty sure my car has electric power steering, and I still think the steering is pretty damn good. I don't think the assist mechanism has that much to do with the steering feel, rather its the bracing and stiffness of the steering column and suspension components. All hydraulic power steering is going to do is add more parasitic drag to the engine and (marginally) impact fuel economy.
