IMO is easier with a centerlock front Hub, because a lockring lets the disc come off, easily.
thus it can be packed separately , to not get bent.
is an Alfine, a Dyno-hub with the Centerlock disc fixing scheme worth it¿ your money you choose.
I'd go with this... although a small torx wrench that comes with discs is going to be smaller and easier to deal with but then you have to keep track of 6 little screws and possibly cross-thread them
with that being said I just had a wheel built up for my disc trucker... xt 6 bolt hubs, velocity chukker 36h wheel and dt spokes... i'm a 300# rider and it's pretty much what Peter White recommended on a budget... I never plan to run smaller than a 32c tire so the wider rim is good for me... but it prob is a bit overkill for all but the biggest or most overloaded riders
