Over here we have Phil Woods- and Chris King- and Hope. All top quality and all good and all very expensive. But they work. None of these are made- They are engineered and for a use that exceeds what mere mortals- or Tandems- can put then through. Hope are British so can't comment on Phil Woods- but I have seen them and heard the good reports on them.
Only done about 12,000miles on my Hope "Bigun" hubs but had a pawl break in the Freehub on the last strip down. Considering this is on the Offroad Tandem I was not unhappy. Especially as it only cost pence for the replacement set of pawls. These engineered hubs are rebuildable.
