What you need are decent bearings, that is all. That is what makes the hub fast and efficient. Take the bearings from the most expensive hub and put them in a cheap hub and which hub is more efficient/faster?
Combined with the fact that even the standard cartridge bearings in cheap hubs are hardly going to slow you down are they, have you actually spun a wheel with a cheap hub?
