Chainring, chain, rear hub and freewheel is no way going to cosy as much as a new bike. Not even close, not even nearly close. Unless you are buying overpriced bling :)
Your discussion of chainline suggests you're thinking of replacing cranks and or bottom bracket as well as chainring ? What's the story there?
Regarding hubs, I recommend the ones linked by chak above - they're made by a company that primarily makes hubs; they are defent quality and very cheap. Spend the money you save on a good wheelbuild by a competent mechanic and you'll be winning.
