What hub? 135mm wide, 36 spoke, 10 speed Shimano Ultegra cassette
Hello,
I need to find a moderate cost hub for a touring bike. I would like Shimano 105 or Ultegra quality but it needs to be for 135mm wide dropouts and a 36 spoke rim. The bike will use a 10 speed Shimano cassette.
Any suggestions?
It does not have to be made by Shimano, but I do prefer their products.

XT is the gold standard IMO. You really can't go wrong.
Also, I personally prefer 8sp for touring... unless you happen to only tour through large towns with fully equipped bike shops of course.

The wheels are 36-spoke with Mavic A719 rims (different from the picture). What are you wanting to spend? I'm considering parting this bike out.

Another happy user of an XT hub, A719 rim on a touring bike here. My wife has an LX hub, A319 rim on her commuter which also works fine and would be the more economical choice while being functionally almost identical.

Another vote for XT or LX. LX will be cheaper, slightly heavier, and I expect will be comparable durability to XT.
Also, I'm with I_bRAD in thinking 8-speed, maybe 9-speed, is better for Touring purposes than 10-speed. Mainly because it's slightly easier to replace the chain, and the thicker chain is slightly more durable, and more importantly, easier to find replacements.
But at this point 10-speed has been around for long enough that replacement stuff isn't too hard to find, and isn't too expensive.
The other value of 8- or 9-speed is that it's easier to find wide-range cassettes, because mountain bike gruppos have come in 8- and 9-speed stuff, but not in 10-speed stuff.
I guess that's why Cannondale uses an IRD 10-speed cassette, as aftermarket manufacturers may make wide-gearing-range 10-speed cassettes, but Shimano only makes them for the road bike gruppos with max large cog of 27t.

Don't forget the SLX 12-36 cassette.
If you go 9-speed, you can pick the color:
