chain drive, belt drive or hub motor

I know this has been discussed time and time again but i have done a lot of research and can't come to a decision so I would like some help.

So basically i live in a hilly area and have to pass about 7-9km in each direction every day. I't doesn't rain much so I don't have to worry about that, and it is all road (though not the best in some places). I would like to still be able to ride without the motor as well.
I am quite handy but my budget is quite low. what would you go with and why?

I am inclined to just get a front hub so that I don't need to fix my pedal to allow free gliding of the chain, but I am not sure the downsides of the hub are worth it.

I'd really appriciate some input as well as a link to a cheap international online supplier, and on that note, does anyone know if this would be reliable?

Thanks for the help you all.
