I bought a complete wheel from Goldtec 3 years ago. Haven't done anything good to it in all that time (e.g. replacing bearings or truing) and lots of bad things (although I'm pretty light on my gear). Still true (haven't had it in a stand, but it's fine in use so should be pretty true) and bombproof.
I'd recommend their builds.
Miche hubs are a bit of a pain for all the reasons rattlebag outlined. Bad quality tracknuts and lockrings which are italian threaded so the only good replacements are campy. How do you say $£? Cash money mofos.
