Hope are still nice affordable hubs.
I still use them on other wheels and I am happy to do so. Trouble is, on this build a hub failure means several thousand pounds down the drain, a holiday ruined and potentially a few hundred miles to walk back to the airport!
At the moment, it's looking like a straight fight between White Industries and Velo Orange, if Velo Orange are able to get back to me and confirm the axle's steel not ali.

I used to not like their hubs for various reasons but they seemed to up the game recently.
Moral of a story is that bad batch of products can happen to any brand.
