DA really are hard bastard hubs. I've commuted in spring/summer for about 7 years on a set that haven't even needed regreasing the sealing is so good whilst I've replaced about 4 rims on them now.
In the same time I've fucked Phil Wood sealed bearings, Powertap sealed bearings, Novatech sealed bearings in months.
If you are big and or tough on kit I'd go for Shimano cup and cone every time.
