I'd disagree with that order. If the order of smoothness then it'd be more like

1.DuraAce
2.Campy/Promax
3.Phil
4.miche
5.formula/iro
6.surly
7.suzue jr/quando

but if durability and bombproofness is the main concern then this order goes out the window and phil is on top.

Just my personal opinion, I'm sure others will disagree, but hyper's right that most regard promax to be smoother. The loose bearing is butter and I'd say even the sealed are smoother than the miche, but the miche's are nice and pretty durable. It makes a great city wheelset without breaking the bank.
