Hubs

For those of you who build your own wheels, which is what I would like to learn how to do, or just have a preference about what's on the or built wheels you buy, what do you guys prefer?

I have found a few here and there, and I prefer something like an origin8 or formula 36 hole hub with loose bearings. I really prefer relatively inexpensive, but durable, components, so when I say I was kind of surprised they were around $50 each, I mean that seems expensive. I had an idea they might be cheaper.

What do you guys generally like to use, and where do you get them?
