Which trailer hubs to go with?

I'm shopping for galvanized hubs for 3500lb axles. The spindles are Posi-lube? with the center grease zerk. I've seen Tie Down/Long Run complete hub kits that have a grease zerk behind the flange for about $75. I've also seen some hub kits on Ebay for ~$35. The Loadmaster Trailer Parts (Florida) catalog lists bare hubs for about $20.

How many different hub makers can there be? Besides the grease zerk, and making sure the bearing sizes are correct, what other differences should I be looking out for?

A hub is a hub, as long as the flange is square and the bearing bore is cut right.

I would definitely recommend these-
