Nice hub ideas

I have a set of NOS Weinmann/Bontrager Red Dot rims laying about that I'd like to build up but am stuck on hub choice. I'd like something I don't already own in silver (possibly black), 32h, 8 speed Shimano compatible. Mid 90's.
I have a couple of sets of M737, a couple of sets of Hope Ti-glide/sus/fatso, a set of DT Swiss, White Industries, Sachs Quarz, M900.
King is an obvious choice but I think a bit rich for me at the moment.
Any other suggestions I should keep an eye out for?
 
Thanks Jan :)
They look great and are certainly the kind of thing I'm after. I do suspect they're rare and cost a pretty penny but I'll add them to the Ebay search list. You never know.
Thanks again. :)
 
You didn't mention anything about titanium, but Hershey Ti hubs are very nice with their polished Ti centres. I quite like my GT Hadley's as well (the U.S. ones).
Hugi are very reliable hubs apparently, as are Phil Wood and Royce but those aren't cheap

Thanks for the suggestions gives me some other options to look at/for. :)
Hugi are lovely but are a bit earlier than I want and I already have a set of the DT version which is what they became by 95.
Ditto White industries, lovely but I already have some. :)
