I hope to try a Rohloff one day. People who have them swear by them, and judging by their huge ratio range, reputation for reliability, and other benefits I'm inclined to believe they are well worth the money. I could totally see mystery bike owners choosing to use an IGH, but a wide-range 11-32 8-speed like Riv sells would probably be my choice if I couldn't get a Rohloff.
