I would suggest advoiding hubs, as switches are uber cheap nodays and give better performace... multiple collision zones and traffic is not broadcast to everyone. I am currently using a Zonet ZFS3008... it is cheap and works nicely... had one die on me from over heating thought... this on runs a lot cooler thought. Forget what model the one that died after a year was, but it had the LEDs on top and the power plug on the opasite side the the RJ45 connectors.
