Single -speed cruiser? I'm
guessing a coaster brake and a narrow
OLD.
The Shimano SG-3C41 is nice. It's used on probably 98% of the OEM three speeds
in the USA. Shimano only offers a twist shifter for it.
The Sturmey Archer SRC3 has a beautiful polished aluminum shell. S-A offers a twist, trigger, dual paddle, thumb and bar end shifter for it. S-A is the only IGH manufacturer to offer extensive aftermarket support of their hubs in N.A.
The SRAM iMotion3 is a new design that shifts
fast both up and down and has its shift cable inside the drop outs. It's only available in 130mm OLD, and SRAM only offers a twist shifter. The coaster brake is roller actuated.
Note when you compare prices that Sturmey IGHs typically come complete with all fittings and a shifter, and Shimano and SRAM IGHs usually require you to buy the shifter separately.
HTH,
