For the hybrid U/BJ position, the BJ part of it is what you end up doing most of the time. Sure, you spot the ball each time and walk off penalties, but when the ball is snapped, you don't really focus on what a 5 man or 4 man U does - point of attack linemen on runs, lineman blocks and QB behind/beyond LOS on passes, pivoting on passes etc etc - you're definitely more in BJ mode with eyes on receivers, lead blocks away from the linesman during running plays, PI, downfield holding etc etc.
You have really enjoyed being a 3/4 BJ, so if I'm you, I sign up for BJ. Classic U is going to be a different world for you at these clinics if you're used to hybrid three man Uing.
You've also had to actually run, so umpiring would definitely be a change of pace
