SON are considered the gold standard.
SP are cheaper and slightly more efficient. Neither of them have user-serviceable bearings but some people seem to suggest SP aren't sealed as well as SON with reduced longevity.
I've used two different SP hubs for TCR, TABR, TCR and the CL one was making some noise after I crashed and had it rebuilt and then it sat unused for a year. So the bearings might be dying but then I rode a 100k audax with it on the weekend and it shut up again so fuck it I'm gonna drill that wheel until it dies.

Only CK or DT for rears.. Rings > Pawls.
Do wonder how Shutter Precision compares to SON.
