Anyone got any thoughts on which shimano rear hub to get? Both xt and zee seem to be about 40 quid, not much in it for weight- is there any functional difference I don't know about?

Purpose is to build up a spare, easy to fix wheel for the other half for taking to places like antur or if we're up in the frozen north of Scotland (she snapped a spoke on the tricon she has currently last weekend, fortunately on the last run of the day as they're crazy expensive/complicated to replace). They probably won't see huge mileage, looking at shimano because they're cheap and I figure cracking them open a couple of times a year and checking the grease is still good should be about all the looking after they need.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.
