Dura-Ace on the Street

I'm going to be building a new wheelset with my tax returns this year, and the hubs in the running are Phil Wood low flanges, and Dura-Ace low flanges.

I would like to hear some comments from people who ride Dura-Ace hubs (high or low flange) on the street. I did some searching and found a lot of contradictory statements. I'd rather not hear the argument that loose bearing hubs just aren't for street use. I'm not afraid of repacking and adjusting traditional bearings every thousand miles or so.

Mostly I'm concerned about the durability of the DA hubs. The durability of Phil hubs is pretty much undebatable.

So...given proper maintenance, will DA hubs last on a daily rider?
