USB Hub

Anyone have recommendations for a USB Hub?

Are there any I should stay away from?

This isn't for my studio comuter, but for my Powerbook, that I do email, office type stuff, as well as light DP and Finale work.

I used two different Belkin USB2.0 hubs and both caused intermitent kernel panics on my Powerbook 15" FW800 (like once every 3 startups). Sometimes devices wouldn't initialize, etc. Since all devices on the hub were low speed, I switched to a USB 1.2 (12mbs) I had laying around and everything works fine. There's a couple of threads on the Apple support site that talk about trouble with USB hubs and KPs.
