Guess Hope is a good choice.
Would have said Shimano, but the combination of cup and cone and through axle felt awkward to me.
I have SON and DT Swiss 350 on my tourer because I can do a lot of cleaning without tools on the DT.
And even if I did 12 Months of touring I would not carry spare bearings, but order online and deliver en route if something was needed. This should be possible almost everywhere, and if you carry bearings, where do you stop? Cassette? Chain?
Cables, tubes and pads, zipties and gaffa is all you need in my opinion.
