It also depends a lot on what you want the hub for.
There's not much point paying for bling bling track hubs with no seals if you're going to ride them through the winter on salted roads.
You've forgotten Royce from that list - possibly the most expensive hubs available.
For general day to day use I'd list them in this order (cost lowest to highest)
System EX/Formula/IRO/Ambrosio/One-One LF (these all seem to be the same hubs made by Quando)
Goldtec
Paul/Phil
Royce (with road bearings rather than track bearings - available as an option)
Level seem to be ridiculously heavy.
Surly are over priced for what you get.
There are a lot of different models of Suzue - but there are "better" hubs for the money.
I reckon Goldtec are probably the best balance of cost/performance. Especially if you get BETD to build the wheels for you. They'll custom anodise the hubs for you if you ask them nicely enough.
