Dura ace hubs are the shit. Tiagra a bit shit.
I expect 105 and above are better sealed than Novatech and I’ve heard of Bitex bearings spinning on axles. They’re ok for summer wheels.
For your intended use I think you can’t go wrong with 105 or Ultegra. Just be aware they’re cup’n’cone, adjust them and don’t neglect them.

Winter road riding, smashing through potholes, looking for cobbled roads to bring back memories of cycling in Belgium and some canal paths when time allows.
