I haven't used them much before. I just built a wheelset with Velocity Aeroheats but I can't say too much about longevity yet. Other people seem to like them.

If you want a very good hub for a reasonable price...it's Shimano but...look for old XTR nondisc hubs. Often you can find them for very reasonable prices. The rears have titanium free hub bodies to save a little weight. Here's a cheap front and I've found rear ones for as little as $70.
