^^^ That's not a disc version though. For some reason they then jump massively. If it was £180 then at that price you may as well spend the extra to buy "the best".
That said I had a cheap ~£20 Shimano on, and really you didn't notice it when riding. As you said there was definite friction when holding, but once you're going you can't feel it.
I'd say pick your price point and choose the hub accordingly. I think Smallfurry has one of SP ones on his long bike... and based on his geekery plus time spent choosing components is a good endorsement.
