Anecdotal but I have two bikes, Spank Hex on one, I9 1/1 on the other. Both have been fantastic and are two years in of regular riding without a bearing change. Had Hydra before and the bearings got squeaky faster than either the 1/1 or Hex. I would happily buy either 1/1 or Hex again, leaning towards the latter as my 1/1 has a slight wobble in the freehub while the Hex is flawless.
