Good Rear Disc Hub

What would you recommend for a rear disc hub, 135mm, that is robust, reasonably light and not ridiculously expensive. I've been going cheap with M525s and decided that its time for something more durable. This is for a commuter that spends months on end in the rain. BTW, it rained every day in October except for two. That was a good month to have an injury.

Just move upmarket to LX or XT. They have labyrinth seals that the
lower end models lack.

Assuming you want a sane number of spokes, XT.
