I like mine. I'm not too picky about weight (anymore), but Shimano's "low end" hubs such as 2200, Sora Deore, 105, Acera, Alivio, Altus, Tiagra, etc. seem amazing for their respective prices. I remember seeing the Altus or Acera or Alivio for <$6 somewhere once.

Granted, I've never really ridden on super high end $100+ stuff like Chris King or Phil Wood (not that I don't want to), but I am still very impressed by Shimano's hubs. I think Sheldon Brown mentioned that he rather liked Shimano hubs; I believe it was on the Shimagnolo write-up of his that seems to be no longer up.
