Can you define what reasonably priced means for you?
Reliable ones are Busch & Muller, Schmidt or Shimano. What's your budget?

Just applying the usual logic that some which costs £25 is not going to last as long as something that's 4 times the price, given the same circumstances.

Rose (or German stores in general) is usually the best place to look for dynamos. Something like this - https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/shimano-deore-lx-dh-t675-disc-hub-dynamo/aid:591997
Unfortunately all the Shimano ones are centre-lock so you would need an adaptor.
Spa Cyles have a SP PD-8 for £70 + postage which is 6 bolt - https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m2b0s133p3037/SP-DYNAMO-PD-8-Disc

I've got the Shutter Precision PD-8, which is a 6 bolt QR dynamo hub. And I got it from Spa.
Cannot recommend it highly enough, it's very lightweight, well constructed, and looks really nice too. Seems reliable enough, got through the last winter without a single problem, still running super smooth, don't notice it when it's running the lights. Big thumbs up from me.

Yes I've noticed all the latest shimano ones are centre lock, which provoked my original question. Anyone used an adapter to convert a centre lock to 6-hole disc?
I have also seen the PD-8 but actually thought they were only 1.5 watt. Checking the LEDs again I see that they are 3 watt which I want as it will be used to charge a battery.

Could do but want to retain comparability with the rear.
