White Ind H3 would be a higher quality hub but it's also heavier and more expensive. But they're reliable. Also Shimano Dura-Ace, which is about the same weight (DA hubs are sold with their excellent QRs so quoted weights usually include the QR, making them sound heavier than they are). They are usually more expensive than the H3 but sometimes there's a deal.

yeah, DA FH-7900 or WI H3. nearly identical in weight, quality and price ($240).

If you get lucky, you might be able to find a FH-7801 or FH-7850 for $120~180
