The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid.

Note that Hydroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a red one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.

If there are no legal targets for either of the modes, you can't choose that mode.
