I need a good solid disc 6 bolt hub but it must be 36h. I know some time ago i had M756 XT rear hubs, but they were 32h and if i could get them in 36h thats ideal. Can somebody recommend one that fits these parameters?
36h
6 bolt disc
the balance between cheap and good quality. Not looking for 240's here and weight is not a priority

I thought you went to V's.

Most any Shimano hub is available in that configuration.
Any reason you want the 36? Many feel the 32 is actually stronger due to the parallel alignment of spokes achieved with a 3 cross lacing.

Most hub manufacturers make 28, 32 and 36 hole configurations. The problem is finding a place that stocks them. MAIL ORDER is doubtful. You'll probably have to go to your LBS and order a set from QBP or Hawley.
