I was warned about the Panasonic/Sanyo dynamo hub because it has the highest drag and because it's impossible to replace the bearings. So far, so good. Sometimes, I don't need the best of things. It's interesting to see which thing is "better" than the other, but that doesn't mean I need it. If my hub fails, it's not that big a deal since I build my own wheels.
