Default Cheap eBay wheel hubs ok?

Looking for a rear wheel hub and I see about every price imaginable from $60 to over $500. What's been the experience out there of what's okay and what's not?

I've used the Ebay 65.00 Hubs with no issues.

I'm waiting on a front hub set I bought on eBay from AM (Aftermarket) Autoparts out in Littleton, MA for $145 + free shipping.
Plus they have a 10 year warranty on all their parts for whatever that is worth...
"10 Year Warranty
This item is backed by our 10-year warranty. In the event this item should fail due to manufacturing defects during intended use, we will replace the part free of charge.
Please note: Any modifications to an item of any kind before contacting us will void any and all warranty coverage for this item. Please contact us before modifying the part so that we have the opportunity to correct the situation."

I had three of them on my rig and never saw an issue. They work perfect.

I got the cheap one on Ebay for front right. No problems, other than my sensor connector fell apart, so I hard wired it. Bugger of a job stripping and soldering those tiny wires.

I have ~7k miles and no leaks or issues. Even using the sensor they provided with the hub.
