Front hub issue

I have a set of Sun Ringle Black Flag Pros that I've been beating on for about 2 1/2 years.  The front hub has developed some side to side play, which has made the front end a bit nervous when riding.  I thought a bearing replacement might fix the problem, so I replaced them w/a new set of Enduro bearings.  Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem.  I'm thinking that my best option would be to get a new hub and have the wheel rebuilt.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

If I were to get it rebuilt, I was leaning toward a Hope Pro 2 Evo hub and would need to find someone who is experienced (and reasonably priced) to do that work.  Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
