I have been running Luqa-Lubes from K-Dee and am very happy with them. I did have one issue as they are basically maintenance free with the exception of changing oil each yr. You still should check for play each yr as well.

Keep in mind that the oil bath hubs are not new technology as semi-tractor trailers have been running them for yrs and billions of miles.

Also the oil gets throw to the outer part of the inner hub where the bearings are. They also run cooler than greased hubs and therefore will last longer as heat robs your bearings of extended life.
