in my exprience the imperials have been rather decent, only issues ive ever had is axel snappings but qr are cheap to replace. find shimano unsealed arent as reliable but much easier to replace parts etc but ther not as bling:p

they are actually quite a good hub. me and a few mates use them and have no problems. theyre also considerably light
