Thinking of a new wheelbuild

As regards rear hub, I think I've narrowed down to 2 rear hubs but don't know which
It'll have to take a 10mm thru axle as Ive a QR frame an a 10mm DT RWS to use

Hope Pro2 Evo, the latest one with the 40point pickup
a fair bit cheaper but still £££ a little faster but they've not been out very long so not massively well proven in the new 40point pickup freehub. Uk made is nice, can be converted between many axle types

DT Swiss 350, with a 36point star ratchet upgrade. Pushing £200 with the upgrade, slightly slower pickup. I don't know how many axles types the 10mm version could be converted to, 12x142 would be useful if I swapped frames in future?
I'm under the impression the DT ratchet plates can withstand a lot of torque, I've gotten pretty much all the freehubs I've had to slip at some point, usually in singlspeed setup, but also on the trail/AM bike trying to get up steppy/techy climbs etc

What else might I have overlooked that's got a half decent freehub pickup speed (~36point or more), 6-bolt, close to 300g, 10mm thru-bolt-able? ideally convertible to some other axle types
