USB3.0 hub recommendations?

Hi - I want a USB 3.0 hub and am not sure which one to get, mainly because it sounds like many are partially incompatible with Macs! A 4-port hub may possibly be fine ...
 
I got this one and it is great. All the ports are on top which is good for cable management on my desk, and also makes it easy to use the ports themselves. It also has two charging ports with higher current capacity for devices that can use it. I went through other crappy usb 3.0 hubs until I finally found one that works well and is well-designed. I don't have any macs so I can't vouch for compatibility with your stuff.

I have changed a couple hubs because wireless mice was not working well, then found that it is a USB 3.0 potential issue - depending on the environment. But really, if one has a few computers around with varying quality of shielding, it almost certainly becomes an issue. Here is Intel writeup on it:

To balance out, have to mention, that some hubs, like Anker 9-port USB 3.0 had issues with all devices connected to them even non-wireless.
