Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Unless the bearings on your old wheels are horribly misadjusted and tight, the speed difference from new hubs will be infitessimal. All of the endorsements above can be explained by improved rim and spoke aerodynaimics (except Panthers007's who is obviously "pulling your chain"), not by improved hub bearings.
