Take a look around for Novatec and Zenith track hubs (iirc quite a few versions of the Zenith hub were sold under different names; SJS did one, BLB perhaps, possibly Sturmey Archer’s offering is the same components, albeit without the cutouts in the flanges). For riding streets, sealed bearings are a good idea. Cheap ish but very sound and perfect for your needs. Both are High flange. Build one of these. Novatec probs slightly better, and seems to be available singly.
For spokes check out singletrackbikes, cyclebasket, there are a couple of ebay sellers who sell pretty cheaply too. Enjoy building.

hey there!
i'm going to build a set of wheels (or at least a rear wheel) for my first fixed gear bike. i'll use it mainy for street riding. already have a track steel frame.
i hve access to a couple of nice rims, but i need hubs (also spokes...)
what are some nice, entry level (as in cheap) hubs i could buy? durable for street riding?
i was thinking about :
miche primato high flange (found the couple for 67eur)
miche primato low flange (couple for 65 eur)
novatec (heard they're durable) (found rear hub for 30 eur)
also ...lo or hi flange?
