Need suggestions on a good usb hub

I'm looking for a new usb hub that allows multiple(atleast 3 or more)devices to be connected simultaneously.I am currently using an iball lappie usb hub which has been behaving rather strangely of late-sometimes all the devices connected to it lose power and its not unless i unplug it from the usb port and plug it back in that they start working again.

I bought a cheapo 7 port hub from ebay but it turned out to be a piece of trash-while trying to transfer files to usb flash drives via that hub i got pathetically slow copying speeds of around 3-6 kbps.

While browsing on amazon i found a couple of usb 3.0 hubs from tp-link,transcend,amazon-basics etc which were pretty expensive,but didn't look as flimsy or as shoddily built as the iball hub that i have right now.

Are these expensive usb 3 hubs worth their high price and would they be better than lower priced usb 2 hubs as far as reliability and performance are concerned?In particular,the amazon-basics hub seems to have received many favourable reviews from several users-would it be worth buying?

I strongly suggest buying a powered usb hub(they come with a separate power adapter which you need to connect to ups/wall socket) if you plan on using external hdd.

If only planning on connecting pen drives etc then get any decent usb hub.

If you don't have many USB 3.0 devices, it makes sense to go for a USB 2.0 hub.
If you have USB 3.) devices and mostly will be dealing with heavy data transfers, only then I would recommend a USB 3.0 hub.

I suggest Belkin. Had recommended a Belkin 2.0 hub to a friend which is sleek & works flawlessly.
