Do you know of any hubs that keep all the ports on a single level?  I already purchased and installed a 2nd RaspPi and have 20 miners on each, but in the future it might be helpful for others that want to control more from a single unit (which I bet it can since 20 miners only results in around 10% utilization).

Probably too expensive but here is a 49 port designed for continuous enterprise use:

How about 2 of these?:  http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10307&cs_id=1030702&p_id=6436&seq=1&format=2

One for each of the Raspberry Pi's 2 ports?  We should be able to conceivably connect up to 48 miners per RPi...  Anyone had any experience with these or know its internal topology?

Or you could try two of these? I don't like the port layout though:

The one from monoprice looks nicer.

Yeah, and a bit spendy (could get 2 monoprice ones for price of 1 MondoHub), plus I could have sworn i've read in one of the many threads floating around that the gridseed miners don't play well with USB 3.0 devices.  Unfortunately the price on the hubs is roughly the same as a RPI so there is little incentive to not just run 2x 10-port cheap hubs per Pi and scale accordingly.
