From your site Xt hub, 717 rim (what he is getting, not the 317) and DT straight gauge spokes is $87 before shipping. That's probably just a little less than the QBP option I mentioned. I would go with butted DT spokes which would make it $94. Those prices are for everything silver. Go for all black and it's $104. I think prices are a little higher here.
It would probably come down to buying a pre-built wheel for about the same price as the rebuild with the used hub. Advantage is the wheel is built by someone you know. If that someone is you, you can save $30-$40.
