David Congrats I hope to be joining the RBW ranks with an AMOS when they become available. I don't have personal experience with PW hubs but my neighbor has a rear wheel built with a PW and loves it. Depending on your terrain you could opt for the Phil Wood Freewheel hubs from Riv over the Cassette hubs and save some $$ while still getting a great hub and still have up to 21 speeds at your finger tips.
http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/phil-rivy-hubs/18-259 I think the full wheelset with a 7 speed FW rear wheel is a north of $600 Anyway good luck and enjoy picking out parts!
