SP PL8X
I dont think there is going to be a problem with braking, but a couple of people on here have complained about weak lateral stiffness (sideways). The flanges are only 50mm apart.
So I would use at least 2mm/1.8mm butted spokes like Dt swiss compBut front wheel stiffness also depends on how heavy the load is and how annoying you find the flex. Some don't mind....

I have stopped using that hub. To many seized. Another sp hub came in for warranty as its stopped generating.
In short I would pay snh money for these hubs.

I'm planning on building a front dynamo wheel to be used on two bikes. Here is the spec:
Rim - 24h Hunt aero race rim brake
Hub - SP PL8X 15mm thru axle centre lock
Spokes - TBC (two cross)
The plan is to run it between my rim brake road/audax bike and my gravel bike which is 15mm thru axle disc. SP make a 15mm thru axle to QR adapter. It seems fairly straight forward to me but my concern is whether or not the lacing and hub will be able to cope with both rim and disc braking?
