I have the suzue hubs. They are ok, but have a few problems.
1. the bearings are different sizes on each side. Kind of a pain to rebuild.
2. The locknuts are also different sizes, which means you need 2 sets of cone wrenches.
I would go for the formula hubs. They just seem to be better made, and the sealed bearings take less care.
