I'm a fairly big guy (105kg), and I haven't managed to break a suzue
hub, although I've had to replace one set of bicycle euro cranks.

In the square taper department, the new wide cr-mo hub may be better
than the suzue. A wider hub makes a wheel that's harder to taco, and
internal threads are less prone to stripping. 

I bought my muni (UDC max traction) before the onza came out and the
KH24 crossed the pond. If I was buying one now, I would pony up a few
extra shekels for a splined hub. 

That said, the nimbus is an incredible value at $200. There really
aren't any junky parts on it. If you go with the nimbus, and you later
get a splined hub muni, you could put a slick tyre on it and use it for
freestyle.
