Mazda CX-3 2015: How reliable is it?
There’s nothing that should be of concern to you, the Mazda diesel is quite reliable.

Best options for small SUV or hatchback?
You need to decide on whether you want an SUV or a hatch before you do anything else. The SUV gives you a better view of the road, is practical, and the CX-3 is a good choice, but hatches can also be attractive. I would rule out the Mazda2 in your case, as it would seem to be too small for your needs, but the 3, Corolla and i30 are all good cars that would deliver on the things you want.

CX-3 short service intervals?
Cynics might say that carmakers using the shorter intervals are simply gouging customers; others might say it’s prudent to service your car more often to keep them ticking over in tip-top shape. Mazda recommends servicing its cars, including the CX-3 every 10,000 km or 12 month, whichever occurs first. I’m inclined to err on the conservative side and service more frequently.

Best small SUV for about $27,000?
There's nothing to worry about with start-stop technology. It's been around for years and everybody has it. As for your choices, I'd put the CX-3 well ahead of the ASX and just in front of the HR-V but I wouldn't buy either. For me, a mid-level Mazda3 is bigger than the CX-3, has more power, more room and is better to drive.
