i think a "coastie" would be fun, and a multispeed hub with the clean chain line of a single speed is even more appealing
The old coaster brake hubs were often spaced at 115mm, but it's not a big deal to stick some spacers in and run them in a 120mm rear end. There's usually plenty of threads on the axle.
