I have yet to find a detailer or brakes that outlast shimano's 7 speed Deore DX line. I certainly don't hesitate to pull them off thrift store bikes and pop 'em on my fancy bikes. They even work fine with my very modern shifters (caveat, I never got more modern than 8sp indexed downtube shifters, but it sounded good).
Seriously though, those things are going to outlive me. I have quite a few DX hubs still running fine (one got a surly fix-r and is now a fixed gear). I can live quite happily without Dura-Ace, Red, Record, etc. Give me the good stuff that works and lasts. Those silver sun-tour front hubs Riv sold for something like $10 about 20 years ago are still humming along and looking great.
