I haven't yet built the wheel but I got the bike wired and will be lacing it to a SP PV-8. I have a friend who has both SP and SON hubs and the SON hubs are certainly nicer but he has had no issues with SP and they are quite small and light.
Certainly if I dive deeper into this whole dynamo craze I will probably go for a SON hub on my touring bike because I hear nothing but good about them and they have been well regarded for so long and durability is a bigger factor for my tourer. The SPs are a little narrower and I am not as keen on that for touring.
I heard rumored that SP and Supernova are made in the same factory from someone I would generally believe so not a bad deal.
