What 130mm rear hub?

Hi all, I've got a Bianchi Brava from about 87. It had been my bike on wind trainer, now it is single speed. Looking to get new rear wheel, probably the Mavic Open pro. What is a good value in rear hub with 130 spacing? I have a wheel with the All City Sheriff in 120- not impressed with bearing life. Formula hub in 120 widened to 130 with a Weinman rim, do not like the rim. So what is a decent hub in 130? Seems the Surly has problems. Would prefer low flange, but high flange would not be a deal breaker. The Bianchi has such a nice smooth ride.
Thanks MikeB

my all city 130mm track hub has taken a beating. over 1500 miles so far- many of them off road. wouldn't hesitate to build one up again.
