I am trying to figure out what would be the best hub to get between a Chris King, a Hope, or a DT Swiss 440. What do you guys think would be best?

Well right now I just got some generic wheels and I am looking into building a pair of wheels up. So I am not sure how loud or quiet I want the hub to be

Hadley - has amazing quality
King - wouldn't run a rear cuz they drag like shit and they're a bitch to overhaul
Hope - good deal, super easy to service
DT - their ratchet system is super strong, shitty engagement though

I roll Pro2 SS rears, 1 King ISO front, 1 DT Oynx front.

I have, and its scary. You dont hear the bike coming at all at dirt jumps.

As for engagement and such, its exactly what they claim, strong, silent, instant. Heavy though, REALLY heavy.
