Can Azure Service Bus topics be used as an event source or is there a better hosted service on Azure for this?

Can Azure Service Bus topics be used for event-sourcing?

At first sight it seem to be a good fit, but have anybody tried it? Can anybody confirm that keeping events forever in the Azure Service Bus topic is working well?

Or is there a better hosted service on Azure for this?

I'm also interested in that topic and from the outside it looks like Azure Event Hubs is the right service for that.

Do you mean in the sense of Event Sourcing?

Wouldn't recommend it. Service Bus has a maximum queue/topic size and is designed to be dequeued. Arguably you could design your replay logic as a dequeue-all and re-queue to retain the application state, but this is definitely not the intention of the product.

It also as far as I am aware has no notion of geographic replication, although the storage behind service bus itself is resilient within the data centre. For maximum redundancy I'd choose a storage technology that supports replication away from the primary data centre.
