I think those are what are on the public hire scheme bikes up here in Glasgow.
I reckon the notchiness is about as noticeable as on the Alfine hub I have, which is to say, not in the slightest bit noticeable!

There's an ebay shop who sell dyno wheels all built, bundles with lights too, really fast and easy and cheap. Bought the basic lights & 26 wheel for a present, has a pretty basic shimano hub but it's fine. They do B&M setups as well. Can't remember the name but it's been talked about here or on the dynamo hubs thread by @cornelius_blackfoot amongst others.
Edit: Shop name is partsforbike-online.

I'm thinking about going for a pair of dynamo lights on an old 26" MTB - I'm looking for a fairly budget solution, just how terrible are the Shimano DH-3N31 hubs? From what I can tell they are fairly notchy... Is there another budget option to consider when going for hub dynamos? Is there a particular hub that's well known for price against performance?
This bike won't be really heavily used - mainly used on shitty days.
I'm a complete novice to this so any advice would be appreciated!
