Help with my HUBS
I am looking for Hubs which have disc mounts for AvidBB-7, 36 spoke,
sealed bearings, Quick Release.
Does anyone know if there are any choices? The set that came on my
bike are beginning to having issues and I want to upgrade ??
I would appreciate some advise.

Hope, King, DT Swiss, just about everyone who makes sealed (by this I assume you mean cartridge bearing) hubs produces one. Search here for ideas:

EDIT: What's your budget and intended use?

my intended use for the bike is to commute to work on the bike, about 100 miles a week.
I ride most of the year, and in the fall and spring it is wet here so -- (Sealed or) cartridge bearings
budget is yet to be determined, and will have to include new rims and new spokes and new gear cluster(the wheels that came on the bike have not faired very well during the first 6 months of their life with me so i am going to upgrade and keep the old wheels as emergency back-up)

Shimano hubs, which are sealed very well, although not cartridge bearings, are great. I'd look at LX or XT if I were you. In fact I do have XT hubs on one of my commuters. Anyway, make sure what you get has 6-bolt ISO mounting for the brake disc.

I am using the basic Shimano Deore Disc Hubs and they have worked out pretty well on my commute bike. Far from high end, but cheap and servicable. I am using these with the Avid BB5 Discs with no problems.
