Huh?
Hiding SSID
does not add any additional security whether you have strong or weak encryption/password set.
(Your sentence implies that you don't need to hide SSID
if you have strong encryption. I'm saying hiding SSID has nothing to do with encryption settings. Just don't hide it. Hiding SSID can only bring confusion and longer connect times to some clients or not connect at all.)
