I would prefer standard still prefer a stronger power supply because 1000mA is something little, but since you can take another one with more mA. The blue power light is something crass, but can easily be "dimmed" with a black permanent marker)
I now have 2 of these hubs in use and would buy if needed one more. However USB3 is always popular ...
Oh, yes ... I use the for taking photos: USB gooseneck LED lights from IKEA 4-6 piece (2 of them "pimped" with 1 Watt CREE's), a 10000mAh Power Bank and a stable surface (in my metal plate with U -shaped holder ....) the mobile macro illumination station already is ready :)
