Well...most S-A models. They've released some klunkers over the decades, too: the SW, the TCW, the StAr5 and the original 8-speed spring to mind.

...wondering what bicycle manufactures are using the 21st century version of Sturmey-Archer hubs as standard equipment on their bikes.
Off the top of my head, not a great many in the N.A. market. In addition to those mentioned, of course there's Moulton, Brompton and Cooper as you might expect from UK marques. Then there's Dahon. Bikes Direct has a number of S-A equipped models. And let's not forget KMX and Terratrike.
