I have high end shimano hubs (3d80 and t780) on two bikes. The hubs work well and give plenty of juice, no issues with them at all. I have B&M lights front and back, they've all been good. You can run cables neatly if you want, mine runs in the bed of my GB mudguard to a light mounted on the mudguard. I've heard some people suggest did e-tube covers for routing dynamo wires.

Mind if I ask some basic questions?
I have an uber-practical commuter bike which needs a new front hub. So I'm thinking of getting a dynamo and lights to get rid of the need to charge my USB lights.
If I get a cheap Shimano hub am I going to be disappointed? Also, what's a good option for city riding for lights? Lots seem like they'd have no side visibility, which is no good. Also, how do you route a cable to the rear? That seems like it'd always be a bodge.
