So to add Chris King tandem content to this thread,
when I asked Jason Woznick of Fairwheel, and author of the famous
Fairwheel hub review, what hubs he would recommend for a tandem, he replied:

3. For rear 130 mm hubs, I’m probably again going to look at
Chris King, with a steel freehub body. Again flange spacing is [not?] that big of a deal with high spoke counts and also introduces more difference in tension ratios.
4. For rear 135, again
Chris King, As would
probably be for 145 as well.
