Id pick Suntour Superbe Pro over anything else but Dura Ace,Pro Max njs, Record are all just as good, it all comes down to what looks the nicest to you/what matches everything else on the bike
Ive not had the loose ball suzue pro max(Im nearly certain the cartridge version has the exact same shell,but it uses 9.5mm 26tpi axles) but the superbe is machined to very fine tolerances, the forging is excellent.
7710 low flange is the best you can buy thats in production, the inner races last forever and get smoother over time. Its a pity they never used the 7710 locknuts for the large flange 7600 hubs, the 7710 locknuts are the same as suntour superbe, thicker than everything else traditional(zipp and white industries have similar size) with more surface grip, great for sprinters
