Hubs offer three speeds 10/100/1000 mbps
Many cheap one only go up to 100. Buy one that goes up to 1000.
While your network may not run at 1000 at the moment it may do in the future.
Mine runs at 1000 as all my PCs support 1000 plus my Ethernet cables all are capable of running at 1000 (cat 6 cables)

With so many devices be sure you don't get a "hub" but a "switch".
Hubs are Layer 1 devices and broadcast to all ports. They can only transmit in one direction at a time on a port and data collides all the time.
Switches are a Layer 2 device, transmit full duplex and direct packets to the ports as required.
It makes a big difference to the network performance.
