It's not a cartridge bearing hub (if that matters to you) but I use 32h Dura-Ace track hubs. They are the smoothest rolling hubs I've found.
Personally I hate radial lacing and have never had any wheels made radial. Despite the amount of people who seem to ignore it, the instructions for DA hubs actually specify that they're not suitable for radial lacing.
I have two wheel sets with dura-ace / Archetype and they're both fantastic. Both gone through at least two winters and none have been re-trued.
They are however cup & cone bearings so I service them once a year (although they've never actually needed it despite having been ridden in some horrendously bad conditions)

I see thanks, I am a similar weight and have had issues with a 24 radial coming out of true a fair bit, but these were very cheap wheels, so the better components could help here?
Unfortunately my budget is not going to stretch to Phil hubs as much as I would love them, would you recommend another hub that would support the 32 at a similar budget to the DT Swiss?
