Midline Shimano hubs are a bargain. They are well sealed, and thankfully, Shimano has continued to use cup and cone bearings. Be aware that they without fail come from the factory with very little grease and adjusted far too tightly.
Open up the hub, squirt some more grease in there, and adjust the cones. You should be good for many thousands of miles.
