Been using an All City hub. Didn't have a problem with it last year and about 500 or so miles. (The bike it is on switches between single speed and 1x8 or 9). Jim Thill at Hiawatha suggested it as a more reliable model than the Surly. And the price is about the same. Comes as a bolt on, but with hollow axle for quick release conversion (which I did on mine.)
