I don't know if you're having trouble with all the feeds you're working with, or with a small subset! But here is my own personal experience with PSHB in case it helps:
I subscribe to a lot of feeds and I've learned that, in general, PubSubHubbub is not a reliable system. It's a distributed system that involves the publisher, hub, and subscriber communicating over the Internet, which means that any bug or issue at any point in the chain will cause a notification to be lost. Often the issue is when a publisher doesn't send a notification to the hub, and sometimes the hub is to blame, and so on. The way I handle it is that I have a slow polling process that fetches feeds once a day. If my polling process fetches a post that's not in my database, then I know something is wrong because that post should have been received already through a PSHB notification. So I mark that hub is "potentially broken", and put that feed on a faster polling process for a month (in the hope that the hub gets fixed in that time), and then repeat the process.
