Anyone have a good idea what USB hub will be best to run 20+ of these?

I was considering this for 10x

Has 20 ports, 90W power supply. Two could likely meet the power/space requirements.

Was also looking at this, but kind of pricey for what it is.

Also looking into adding 5V power to an underpowered 2.0 hub as many in this thread have suggested. I've only done moderate research on it so far and am concerned about the power management and getting beyond design currents.

the anker hub wont work.. i have one and it wont even power the first gen moonlanders.. its limited to .9w per port..

i have 8 first gen running on 2 superbpag 7 port hubs.. but it seems amazon no longer has a seller for those..

the 20 port hub you linked from ebay might work, but you can only use every other port.. so the most it seems you can get is 12
