USB is only 500mA, so as long as you have no USB peripherals and Ethernet, you should be fine. I recommend the 5V supply.
Most USB hubs should work. There is a list on the link i sent you of the ones we know work. USB Hub may not need to be powered depending on what you plug in. As long as it does not exceed 500mA on the USB, it will be fine. Those devices you mentioned will be under the 500mA.
