So I'm building a new wheel set for a new bike, and I want to know which hubs I should get. I am deciding primarily between:

Miche Primato hubs: http://www.businesscycles.com/thub-miche.htm
Shimano Durace hubs: http://www.businesscycles.com/thub-shim.htm

The Miche weigh 240g front, 346g rear - Cost $110
The Shimano weigh 215g front, 295g rear - Cost $225

Both have a 36h drilling option, which I need for a 3 leading 3 following lacing pattern (seen here: http://www.minortriad.com/wheel.html). Both are fixed/fixed rear hub. Both are sealed bearing (cause I'm not p***y, I ride in the rain).

As far as usage, I live in Chico, a college town in Nor Cal. It's almost all flat, rains about 15-30 days a year, super crappy pavement on most roads. I don't run a brake. I have a high gear ratio, 52 x 17, so lots of pressure when sliding. I am pretty into learning tricks right now, lot's of wheelies and whirly birds. At the same time I ride about 30-50 miles a day right now, but plan on riding down to LA, about 700 miles away. I'm putting the hubs on a set of H+Son 42mm deep rims (seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30185145@N04/).

Is the Shimano worth the extra money? Will they be that much better? I am not pressed for cash, but at the same time I don't want to blow it on stuff I don't need. And can I get a set of hubs powder coated? My bike will be green and I would want to have the hubs match, but am not sure I want to spend even more money on Phil Wood, which is the only company I see with 36h green hubs. Input?
