BD single speed/fixie v. vintage frame build

I am very interested into getting into singlespeed/fixed gear biking and I was looking around for a bike to start out on. I will mostly be using it for messing around and commuting roughly 3 miles a day. I was looking at some BD bikes (Dawes SST, Windsor Clockwork), but I also found an old Peugeot frame on Craig's List for 75 that has a fork, chainrings, crank, pedals, seatpost, front break, handlebars, and chain. The owner had it converted to a fixie. I would have to add wheels hubs and cogs to it at least, but it really would end up being in the neighborhood of a BD bike anyway. Any suggestions about which might be the better of the two? I love the old school frame thing, but have never had much bike building experience so that is my main concern.
