I can't believe a shop couldn't come up with a quality 130mm hub suggestion! Like frankenmike says, nothing wrong with a road or cyclocross hub for 130mm spacing. Another idea is at this time consider upgrading to a 135mm hub setup and spread your frame dropouts (assuming it's steel, some thoughts here http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html). For a rim maybe a Mavic XC717 or for less $ a WTB dual duty. OTOH might be time to consider a new bike rather than putting too much into that one...
