Wheel building help please

I had a sturmey archer 8 speed it only did 300k then gears 1-7 blew out

I also had a shimano nexus 7 speed it did a 1000k and gears 6 & 7 blew out

another problem with the sa 8 speed is 1st gear is 1-1 ratio the rest are all overdrive

that means you have to make all the chains and sprocket gearing as low as possible

even then I couldn't get it low enough to make top gear usable
 
No it isn't any cheaper. I couldn't find a hub with a strong rim combo so thought I'd give it a try
