If it's a rainbow enhancement (like Philosophy), yes it counts as all eight good brigades. If it's a dual-brigade enhancement then it counts as 2 brigades.

Hur and RBD don't work together, because Hur is an ability used by you making your opponent draw, and RBD specifies abilities used by opponents only. If you forced your opponent to use Hur in a side battle, you would be the one to draw cards, not your opponent. If you had RBD up and your opponent had Gifts, well, Gifts is optional, so he could discard the top seven cards of his deck if he wanted to...but unlikely.

Well, you'd have to use Sent to Serve and have a way to protect your hand and then CtR/SideBattle with whoever has Love at First Sight placed on them. Too complicated to be any good.
