Back wheel dilema

Right, i need a new back wheel for my Rock Lobster.
Now, do i get XT-719`s or Hope P2-719`s. Bent my 717 rim within 3 months.
The Hopes are twice the price of the XT. Are they really worth it?
And then there`s UST, worth considering?
Mainly ride XC, Trail centre with the odd jump now and then.
Hope you can help,
Phil

Best to have a search through some recent threads on the Hope vs XT dillemna. But look at Halo and DMR revolver hubs too if you prefer cartridge bearings.0

If you look at the previous threads you'll see me praising Hopes and 719's. Pro II's, light enough for my xc bike, strong enough for my fr bike. Down to personal preference at the end of the day though.0

The gist of the threads i`ve been reading suggest getting the Hope`s if you can afford them.
I could afford but the skinflint in me is making me doubt whether the hope`s are worth the extra. :?
Love the bling though
Heart vs Head mmmm
