I want to purchase a USB Hub and I always want the best one. Please tell me, in your opinion because I am sure everyone has to have their favorite, which makers supply the best USB hubs?
Thanks

I would simply buy whatever is on sale.

The big things to consider with USB hubs is of course whether it's USB 2.0 (if you even need it) and whether it's bus powered or AC powered. Some devices need the extra juice that only an AC powered hub can provide.

They all work the same, just buy it based on looks.

Like Bradoesch said some are powered, some aren't. Get powered if you aren't using it on a laptop.
