I.M.O. most old Shimano Ders, (Outside of 600) Are clunky overweight junk. But most any Suntour will work like a dream. I have VX, and VX-GT on a couple bikes, no problems whatsoever. Cyclone and AR-ARX seem pretty nice too.
My favorite hubs seem to be non-helicomatic Maillard lo-flanges, cause most of my bikes have them, or came with them.
