Will I ever see hubs I aspire to for rim brake, 36h rims?

[enigma]

So years ago I bought some nos 36hole mavic rims off Ebay.
36h by accident didn't register, it was a long time ago.. anyhow with the situation on 32h rims for rim brakes getting more of a pain I am pondering what my options would be on getting late nineties shimano or hope rim only or something that would warrant getting them built.

I've got a bunch of wheels but nothing new and mostly a little lowly of groupset for the current fleet.

I've been thinking if I had a new or close enough pair of wheels for the few lifer bikes than all the other stuff can go!

I just had all three Pace forks I've had a long time serviced and getting fitted, and have a box of stuff growing to sell, basically figure out the conundrums and move forward. But that's where I'm at reduce clutter, have bikes where I want them at, and use them more which is slowly happening.

Oh and I don't currently have a trusted wheel builder or tweaker, I'm central wiltshire and I've a few wheels that want attention and or building if anyone sees this and has any ideas!
I used to be able to do it, but the time to relearn on stuff that's hard to replace isn't worth it unless by today's money it looks my only choice!

Let's see what they hive mind throws up.

Cheers.

There are a fair few XT hubs around, although I would avoid the later ones and use LX. They shifted to aluminium axles and shrunk the bearings, which made them fragile.

Thankyou, Googling which was weird as most things bicycle are purchased off of this here forum..!
I see there are new satin finish lx and xt hubs, but I was assuming they were simple badge engineered tiagra or whatever, ie not such quality as the late nineties lx and xt that's on most bikes I own that don't have hope hubs.. I left knowledge of groupsets behind in the early 2000's!
Even the stx of the nineties seem pretty bulletproof as I have two bikes with stx / se hubs and they are fine , ok regularly serviced but all the same..
But aluminium axles in qr hubs sounds a bit silly, especially if it means reduced bearing strength..!
Will have a look at these, but if I go down that route enquire as to axle material. thankyou.

The ones to avoid are 780.
