You'll see most guys using Zipp rims on the track lace them to Dura-Ace hubs.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Zipp track hubs only come in 28 hole - so it limits rim choice a fair bit.
maybe i am buying into the hype too much.. but from what i hear about their warranty et al i would have to say prove me wrong..

The result is a hub that can be laced radial, one, two, three, or four cross to any spoke tension, and rebuilt as many times as you feel like it with absolutely no chance of cracking or failure in the flange. While most hub manufacturers void their warranty if you radial lace with their hubs, we encourage it.
