Only problem I ever saw with hoods was on cars where the hinges hadn't been exercised regularly for some time. On more than one of the parts cars we had, the metal flange just in front of the attachment point had been stressed--a couple to the point of cracking because the hinges were so stiff. A shot of oil on the pivots at least once while you own the car wouldn't hurt.
