I've only seen one pair of Hubsmiths, on wheel I bought from FarSports. Based on that limited sample I'd prefer the EDhub/Bitex hubs. Their bearings are better than Hubsmith, making the hubs turn smoother. Their rear flange spacing is wider, making a laterally stiffer wheel.

what about circus monkey hubs? Heard they are quite good..

About circus monkey hubs...
What about these spoke holes? Sorry, don´t know a right word, but will this hub suit for radial lacing?

The "keyhole" drillings allow for wider aero spokes to be used.

Manufacturer or spec sheet should be able to tell about radial lacing compliance.

Bitex and Novatec hubs are great if we exclude their generic hub range. At the moment I'm using wheelsets with DT/Corima/Mavic/Novatec/Bitex/Syncros/Shimano(various models) on my 5 bikes and Novatec/Bitec are top notch and I can not tell difference between 85$ Bitex hubs versus 500$+ DT 240's.

They only use a 10mm axle ... do you think this is strong enough for all riders and surfaces?

For any of the hubs coming from Taiwanese or Chinese sources check the specs carefully. There are plenty of these hubs floating around on eBay that swap out quality bearings for lesser quality Chinese bearings. You may save $10 on the hubs only to shell out two or three times that to replace the bearings a few thousand km later.

I had bad luck with the "bikelover" hubs of ebay. They use Enduro bearings but the rear still developed play really qucikly. Don't now if it was easily fixed because I replaced it w a DT240 I had. Novatec has been good as others have said.
