What to use: hub, switch or router so the IP address doesn't change.

Router, unless you can get multiple global IPs from your ISP.

This would block direct external access to the machines.

If you have a fixed IP address from your internet provider, you MAY be able to purchase additional public IP addresses for additional servers. IF that is the case, then you could use a switch between the modem and the servers.
