Hydros Pro will be fine hanging from the straps. That monprene doesn't really hold a shape or get permanently compressed like regular foam. I used to leave mine hanging for weeks (now I dive enough that my stuff almost never gets a chance to be hung up, which is by far the best solution.)
 
I leave mine hanging inside the house (my garage isn't air conditioned).
If it has integrated weights, I'd take those out. I'm considering putting together a kit box and may move the BC there after drying.
 
Inflate, empty the bladder, if feeling generous - rinse a bit with fresh water and let it dry. Toss in a box until next time. The only thing I wouldn’t do is put heavy things on top or store somewhere strange (closet with a gas boiler, next to solvents etc - but that’s my own paranoia).
