I used Michie hubs for a bit over a year and in all conditions they were fine. Ended up transferring those wheels on my girls build and got a new wheel set with Suzue's. I went for Suzue because a) they look awesome and b) because you can use Dura Ace lockrings which I trust more than the Miche one I had and had to replace a couple of times. I’m sure there are other higher quality lockrings you can use with Miche hubs though.
Just brought a new set of Suzue hubs and am building my first set of wheels, laced the front wheel last night.
I vote Suzue.

I've been using miche hubs for about five months now, run nice and smoothly, though the quality of the miche lockring is a bit of a bitchface.

The GC and the Suzie are pretty damned close in quality though. Note that the standard pro max has cup and cone bearings, which will need a degree of looking after. The pro max SB is of slightly lower quality but has sealed cartridge bearings, which are near maintainance free. The GC's also have cartridge bearings.
(FTR I personally quite like cup and cones, but often buy cartridge for simplicity)
So if you want cup and cone = Suzie pro max
If you want sealed cartridge bearings = Grand Compe -
