USB hub recommendations?

[bunner bob]

My wife wants to add a USB hub to her Quicksilver G4. I'm assuming she'll want a powered one - any tips on which are good and which ones to avoid?

Having not dealt with these I have not a clue...

I have a Belkin USB 4-port hub, and it works great. Doesn't seem to be affected by those "USB hub causing a kernel panic" type things as I've never had a trouble with it. I have a CF Card reader, a Palm dock/Serial-to-USB converter (my old Palm IIIe still works!), an hp DeskJet 3320 printer and a proprietary camera USB cable for my digital camera. All ports are filled up, all devices work great, and it was relatively inexpensive as well (<$30).

The model number is F5U021... here it is at MacZone:

If you want a really good deal, go to Belkin.com and you can buy anything on the site for 50% off. Just put this code in when you go to checkout. Here is the code: 35491. You can get a refurbished one for $6.00. I don't know of a deal better than that.
