Daniel, In our experience tandems are slower on uphills and faster (sometimes lots!) on downhills than singles. The Shimano 12-36 cassette might be good for you since you're in a hilly area. It will work without the changes needed to make a long cage work with the 40 tooth plus cassettes.

of regular brakes -- the intent of the drag brake is to scrub speed, not stop you in a hurry (and is not used that often, in my experience). If the latter, in my experience you'll have plenty of cable pull from a shifter. If something else is worrying you, what is it? Julian Westerhout
