If you want a bling hub, I'd say go with Phil, but your really just wasting your money. Your building a "trick bike". You don't need a super high end hub for that, just something durable with lots of spoke holes. Why do you think a surly or any other budget hub won't last. Thats absurd. They are plenty durable and built to withstand street and track riding. Your going to go just as fast and do the same "tricks" no matter what hub you buy.The only thing about hubs that don't last is the bearings...and that goes for all hubs.
Get a formula. 99.9% of the time, anything else is a waste of $.
