As much as it pains me to agree with Jonesy ;-) I have to.
I've got an ancient pair of XT hubs on my tandem, and
they've got tens of thousands of miles on them... never a
glitch. In fact, I've never had a problem with a Shimano
hub - ever.
I tend to avoid Mavic rims, but that's mainly because
they're pricier than other similar rims, and tend to have
"gee-whiz features" that are of no to negative value
(anodizing, machined sidewalls, welded seams). That said, I
do have at least couple pairs of wheels with Mavic rims that
have been as good as anything I've ever used.
AND, Mavic does a great job supporting races (including
loaning me a kinda goofy tubeless rear wheel when I blew
mine up at a 24 hour race).
