Does anyone have any experience with a cassette conversion?

Or should I just swap out the hub? I hear the cassette conversion is easier, but cost a little more. I want to put shimano/SRAM hub/wheels on a Campy drivetrain.

Update:

I guess a few companies like Wheels Manufacturing, American Classics, and maybe some other companies machine cut cassettes to line up win Shimano hubs, but drive Campy, that way you can use shimano wheels on your Campy if you want to.

    Depends on the specific wheels you have and the Campagnolo group you use. Some manufacturers make both Campagnolo and Shimano compatible cassette bodies for their wheels, for example, Fulcrum wheels are available with either type and the bodies can be changed. Swapping a hub is a big job and not always possible. It would help to know what wheels you currently have. The latest 11 speed wheels and drivetrains are compatible between brands. You can use a Shimano 11 speed wheel and cassette on a Campagnolo equipped bike

    You will have to replace everything in the drive train with shimano or sram.
