The Codes are pretty easy to bleed if you use the kit with the bleeding edge tool. I haven’t bled Shimano, so I can’t help you there.

Srams are really easy and mess free with the bleeding edge tool. The Epic Bleed Soultions one is a lot more sensibly priced than the official one. I haven't bled Shimano brakes for quite a while, but I don't remember them being especially hard.

The thickness of the rotors a slightly different between brands. Typically you can Sram and Shimano together. Some say you lose performance in the brakes, and others say just the opposite.

I bought my previous bike second hand and it had Sram brakes and Shimano rotors and it worked just fine.
