Which front hub

So My rims are coming today: Mavic Open pros, I've got a Miche Primato high flange rear hub, and a handful of 14/15 DB Asahi spokes that probably aren't the right length. I'm still trying to pick the front hub. A part of me wants a Miche just for symetry, but individually I can't find one for less than $65.

I could also get:
Suzue Promax for $50
Formula for $30
Ultegra (road) for $30
Suntour XC (old mtb) for ~$20
Gipiemme (road) for ~$20

I'm sure any one of the above would be fine, but I'm going to the trouble to use top quality spokes and rims, I might as well use a really nice hub. Watcha think? I'll probably make my decision, and order in the next 24. Thanks for your input.
