Rear Hub Dilemma and thoughts on Profile Racing hubs.

I am trying to decide on hubs for a new track build. Looking at Phil High Flange or Profile Racing track hubs. I did a little searching and didn't find much recent info on the Profile hubs. Anyone out there been riding them for a while, what do you think?

Luckily I have a couple buddies with wheels using both of these hubs so I was able to borrow them for an afternoon to check the chainline each would give on my bike. The Profile is really spot on and the Phil is about 1.5mm off, both checked with the same EAI cog. Should I take the 1.5mm chainline difference into consideration or is it too small to affect wear and chain noise?

Before you tell me to ask my buddy about the Profile hubs, he has only had them for a couple weeks so all he knows is they spin well right now. I know the Phils will last.

What would you choose prices being pretty similar?

Thanks
