Why mention best? Because cost is not a priority. In the future, when someone says "best", you might take it to mean "best at any price" and spare them from reading your useless posts. Notice I didn't say "best value."
It's not like I'm shopping for a new car where there are a million options and "best" depends on hundreds of possible factors, intended use, opinions, preferences, etc. and there is not one single answer. What criteria is there in a rear hub, besides weight and durability?
I think of it the other way. Most people when recommending something will recommend what they feel is "best" to them for your situation without you having to say you want the best.
When you say you want the best, then it gets me to wondering what best is to you.
I hope you are grinning while you keep this conversation going, I am. I've no ills directed toward you. I did after all admit I was being a little snarky in my first reply.
