TBH I've never had any serious problems with any 3 speed hub. While some will proclaim SA hubs to be superior, in practical use I think the difference is negligible. I've had an abused shimano hub that "slipped" but I also had a SA 3 speed coaster brake that never seemed to work right. Aside from those two, I've never had a bad 3 speed hub and I've owned at least 9 three speeds.
