I'd agree with Andrew. Give i9 a shot, it's pretty much plug and play. I think i9 is fine in terms of bearing life when you look across the market, but it's just that the exceptional experience with CK and P321 has skewed my perception.
DT240 isn't worth it to me if you're buying new. Big price jump for minimal weight savings and a lame POE. It's reliable, but some heavier / stronger riders have reported that the 54t starts slipping.
Also they put out a statement back in the summer that their EXP hubs were having premature wear issues, so take that as you will.
