Best USB hub?

Hello, all—

Need a USB hub for new MacPro to accomodate multiple dongles (iLoks, Logic Xcess, etc.) for multiple DAWs, plug-ins.

Can anyone recommend a good one? Best vendor? (Newegg? Tiger Direct?)

Should I be concerned about whether it's bus powered (or would require an adaptor)?

Many thanks.

I use a Belkin that has 6-7 USB ports with 3 MIDI interfaces, 2 iLoks, printer,etc.... works ok.

yeah, i need a new one as well.. something that is powered that can run the iLoks.. a nord G2.. virus TI.. scanner.. etc etc...

just wondering if there is some "pro" model out there that provides more power than others.. or if they're all about the same..

I've used a Kensington 7-port and a D-Link with less than happy results.
Had to constantly plug-unplug stuff around,kinda messy.(Macbook)

Then I got a Logitech 4-port from Microanvika ,last time I was in U.K. and this think is awesome.I even run my WD external hd on it as well my Edirol usb controller with zero probs.
Highly recommended.
